1000 TON ARCHEAN 'DINOSAUR' DISCOVERED

IN SPAIN'S TABERNAS DESERT

• Massive creature uncovered during reclamation efforts by Spanish mining companies. • May have stood 300 feet tall and dominated the early continent during the Archeon. • Spanish Ministry of Science proclaimed possibly the first of undiscovered fossils. SPAIN – In what could be the greatest discovery since finding out that Pluto is not a planet after all, an archaeological research team from the Universidad of Espania has made an astonishing find of a massive 300 foot fossil that thrived and roamed the early Archean continents some 3 billion years ago. Additional research teams also uncovered fossil footprints in the volcanic granite surrounding several hundred meters of the adjoining cliffs, were geologic estimates reveal the animal may be the remains of an unknown ecosystem that existed long before advanced life forms were believed to have evolved. The site was uncovered in the Tabernas Desert, located within Spain's southeastern province of Almería. "The creature must have been enormous. This fossil points to an ancient history of Earth that we did not believe even existed." Dr Garcia, Professor of Palaeontology at the Universidad de Espania, said while addressing the Palaeontology Conference held in Madrid. He went further to state that successive weathering of the rocks as well as natural collapse of the environment would reveal more and that the research teams would continue to investigate the area on a long term basis. “Further research will reveal more about the magnificent creature and hopeful what we unearth would provide a clearer picture of things like its diet and age as at when it died.” The hostile Tabernes Desert in Spain's southeastern province of Almeria may have been more hospitable in the Archeon Era to massive creatures who needed fresh water and consumable supplies. Head Researcher, Nicholas Santiago, while also addressing the conference, stated that questions abound as to how such a gigantic creature met its end. “I doubt that there would be any natural predators for an animal of its size, unless there were similar creatures also in existence” When asked for specific features observed in the fossilized bones, the researcher stated that there were pockets of residue of a highly radioactive, yet to be identified element. “The concentrations appeared to have been very high but we do not believe that it had any adverse effect. As a matter of fact, we believe that the element may have actually played a role in its anatomy” The Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport released a communique stating that research fellows from all works of life are welcome to work with the Spanish government on the project. Artist's rendition of the colossal 'dinosaur' which may have dominated the early proto landmass during the Archeon Period. Human to scale. Scientists are now calling the animal Gigantus Brazzili. “It is a huge discovery of great importance to Palaeontology. We welcome expertise from fellow researchers around the world as we expectedly unravel more information about the creature” the Minister said while addressing a press conference. Speaking on the invitation of researchers from around the world, Dr Garcia said “International collaborations are very welcome in this extraordinary research. A lot can be done with access to technologies that are not available in Spain at the moment as well as knowledge of our learned colleagues in other Universities”. Scientists from around the world are already reacting to the news of the discovery with several stating that the implication of such a find can mean several things to the existing narrative on the origin of life and the existence of more advanced life forms on ancient earth. The scientific community is waiting a classification of the creature and when asked, Dr Garcia said one of many names being considered is Gigantus Brazzili.
