The assemblage, unveiled today in the journal Scientific Reports, is among many astounding new fossils of Mussaurus patagonicus, a distant ancestral cousin of the famous long-necked dinosaurs such as Brachiosaurus or Brontosaurus. What’s more certain is their age: It’s likely that none of these dinosaurs made it to their second birthday.
