In 1996, researchers found fossilised bones belongings of a 230 million years old Eodromaeus in the Valley of The Moon, in northwestern Argentina. After a long period of effort to recreate the skeleton they managed to reconstruct the Eodromaeus. The Eodromaeus is a small, two-legged, predating dinosaur of not much more than 1.2 meter in length and 4-6 kg in weight. Scientists believe that the Eodromaeus is very close to the roots of the dinosaurs, probably the first ancestor of the theropod line, which eventually would evolve into the huge forms like Tyrannosaurus rex.
It is very fascination that these fossils of creatures still can be found and that they they can reconstruct these skeletons into how the creatures looked alike, millions of years ago. With these reconstructions we will get a better view of how creatures lived millions of years ago which gives us a better understanding of nature. In addition if all the information of different creatures is compared, scientist can make a timeline which shows the evolution of all creatures into the creatures of the present days. This timeline could be used as another confirmation for Darwin’s Evolution Theory.
