Beyond the game
The real Aragosaurus
The bones were found in Galve, in the province of Teruel, and the genus was described in 1987. Its name refers to Aragón, the Spanish region where it was discovered.
Studying the rocks and plant remains found alongside the bones helps place the animal in time and reconstruct its surroundings. A dinosaur is not studied in isolation: the ground around it is part of the evidence too.
