A real life 'Jurassic Park' in the heart of Portugal
The town of Lourinhã in Central Portugal is often described as a real world 'Jurassic Park', a paradise of palaeontology like no other in the world. The spot was put on the map in the 1990s after the discovery of dinosaur eggs containing embryos on a local beach. With a staggering 150 million years of age, these are by far the oldest eggs of a carnivore dinosaur ever found in the world. Now more than two decades later, more nests have been discovered in the area, making the small town become known as the 'land of the dinosaurs'.
