ADVERTISEMENTThe fossil is among the most complete dinosaur skeletons of its age found in Zimbabwe, with bones from its spine, ribs, arms, legs and feet preserved. In 2022, scientists in Zimbabwe discovered the remains of Africa’s oldest dinosaur, which roamed the earth around 230 million years ago. The dinosaur, named Mbiresaurus raathi, was only about one metre tall, with a long tail, and weighed up to 30kg.
