[geovalin]

Cambodia has for the first time unearthed a dinosaur fossil on Koh Por island in Koh Kong province, according to Environment Minister Say Samal.
“The first ever dinosaur fossil was found on Koh Por island in Cambodia,” Samal said. The fossil, part of a dinosaur’s leg, was unearthed in Bak Khlang commune, Mondul Seima district, Koh Kong province which borders Preah Sihanouk province.

Hun Marady, director of Koh Kong provincial environment department, said yesterday that researchers have spent about a year researching the fossil and based on the evidence concluded that the fossil is from a dinosaur.

 

“After the discovery, we decided not to move the fossil because the research is ongoing and it depends on a decision from the Ministry of Environment. The ministry will study the fossil thoroughly to understand what kind of dinosaur it is,” Marady said. “According to the experts, the fossil is from a dinosaur, but what kind of dinosaur will require a more thorough study,” he said.
