Volcano gave China its dinosaur fossil trove


A TREASURE trove of fossilised dinosaurs and other long-extinct species in north-eastern China was created, Pompeii-style, by an erupting volcano, scientists said last week.

A seam of rock known as the Yixian and Jiufotang formations, in western Liaoning province, is the burial ground of an astonishing array of creatures that lived around 120 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous.
