This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Ferrodraco.
Discovered in April 2017 by a farmer spraying herbicide near Belmont Station, Queensland Australia. It was excavated soon there after by a team led by Adele H. Pentland.
It was named, Ferrodraco, meaning Iron (ferro) Dragon (draco), by Adele, et al in 2019. This is because it was found in ironstone.
It was later CT scanned in high resolution at the Australian Synchrotron and osteology described in detail.
