This may not be Jurassic Park, but South Africa is one of the best places in the world to find dinosaur remains. About 200 million years ago, some of the biggest creatures to ever walk the earth appeared here. Sauropods such as Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus walked on four legs, had small heads and long necks and could weigh over 100 tonnes. Paul Barratt from the Natural History Museum is joining teams from Johannesburg and Munich to work out how these vast creatures came into existence. Well, we just walk around with our eyes to the ground basically. We're looking out for something that's slightly different to the majority of the rock. Little chips of bone, or if we're really lucky, a small part of bone poking out of a side of a cliff or a side of a hill that will give us some kind of indication of where we might actually find part of a skeleton or some bones.


这里也许不比侏罗纪公园，但南非是全球寻觅恐龙遗迹最理想的地点之一，约两亿年前这里出现了史上数一数二的陆生巨兽。蜥脚目恐龙: 陆生大型恐龙，侏罗纪最盛，至白垩纪末绝灭，梁龙和腕龙等蜥脚目恐龙用四肢行走，头小，颈长，体重可超过100吨。来自自然历史博物馆的保罗·巴勒特加入了来自南非和德国的探索小组，共同探明这些庞然大物是如何出现的。我们走动时眼睛不离地面，我们在寻找一类略微特殊的岩石，也就是细小的碎骨如果走运，也可能发现悬崖或山丘边露出的小块骨头，从而得到线索以寻找部分骨骼或骨块。
