One of the world’s largest dinosaur graveyards has been discovered at a remote Texas lakebed, containing the 100 million year-old remains of a previously unknown reptile, scientists announced. Paleontologists Louis Jacobs of Southern Methodist University and Phillip Murry of Tarleton State University, who are leading a project to excavate the bones from Proctor Lake, about 150 miles southwest of Dallas, said the skeletons represent at least one new kind of dinosaur. One of the dinosaur skeletons is related to plant-eating camptosaurids, reptiles that lived more than 100 million years ago and walked on two legs, the paleontologists said.
