New dinosaur species Musango matusadonaensis found in Zimbabwe
Paleontologists have identified a new sauropodomorph dinosaur species named Musango matusadonaensis from fossil bones discovered in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwean fossils differ from South African finds
The newly described species is distinct from dinosaurs previously found in South Africa. Researchers have been excavating dinosaur material from the region for nearly two centuries. This latest addition expands the known record of early dinosaur evolution on the continent.

Dinosaur bones in Zimbabwe were first reported to science in 1916. The African fossil map now includes rich beds across multiple nations including Egypt and Morocco. This specific discovery adds another piece to the puzzle of early dinosaur history.
