South America, Africa and Europe were once connected by land routes: 120-million-year-old dinosaur fossil reveals ancient bridge

A new giant long-necked dinosaur, Dasosaurus tocantinensis, unearthed in Brazil, reveals ancient land connections. Its close evolutionary ties to a Spanish species suggest dinosaurs migrated between continents before the Atlantic Ocean fully formed. This finding offers compelling biological evidence for prehistoric land bridges linking South America, Africa, and Europe, reshaping our understanding of dinosaur dispersal.
