"Diverse Duckbilled Dinosaurs: Uncovering Africa's Prehistoric Thriving"

New fossils of abelisaurs from North Africa suggest that African dinosaurs remained diverse up to the very end, indicating a sudden demise likely caused by the impact of a giant asteroid. The discovery of these fossils in Morocco's phosphate deposits sheds light on Africa's last dinosaurs, including titanosaurian sauropods and diverse predatory dinosaurs, implying a thriving ecosystem just before their extinction. These findings challenge the notion of a gradual decline in dinosaur diversity and suggest that dinosaurs were cut down in their prime by a catastrophic event, such as an asteroid impact.
