Dinosaur fossil found in Sahnastra river of Saharanpur

Saharanpur, Nov 5 (UNI) A fossil of dinosaur of the genus Triceratops has been discovered on the banks of the Sahanastra River, originating from the Shivalik Hills in Saharanpur.
Environmentalist Dr Umar Ali Saif today revealed that the dinosaur's nasal horn and partial wings are present. "The specimen measures 46 centimeters long, four centimeters thick and measures between nine and fifteen and a half centimeters wide, with a tip measuring eight centimeters," he said.
A similar egg was discovered in May, measuring 19 centimeters long, seven and a half centimeters wide and 444 centimeters in volume, with a length-to-width ratio of two and a half centimeters. This egg distinguishes it from the eggs of the titanisaur Megalulus, which is known in India. The fossil is 330 mm long and 55 mm thick at the center. It is shaped like a double-edged dagger, reminiscent of the nose of a Triceratops.
