"Unearthing Africa's Ancient T. Rex Relatives: A Glimpse into the Dinosaur Era's Final Chapter"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered fossils of two new dinosaur species in Morocco, revealing the presence of diverse carnivorous species just before the asteroid-induced extinction event 66 million years ago. These findings challenge the belief that dinosaurs were already declining at that time and suggest that they were thriving in North Africa until their abrupt end. The fossils belong to two primitive cousins of T. rex, members of the Abelisauridae family, and highlight the rich diversity of dinosaurs in Africa during the late Cretaceous period. The discovery provides valuable insights into the end of the age of dinosaurs in Africa.
