Hong Kong: Scientists have discovered dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong for the first time, the city's government announcement on Wednesday, adding that the species remains unknown.
Experts from Hong Kong and mainland China identified the fossils as belonging to a large, aged dinosaur from the Cretaceous period, around 145 million to 66 million years ago, the Development Bureau said in a statement.
The first humans are believed to have appeared on Earth around six million years ago.
Further analysis will be conducted to confirm the species of the dinosaur, the statement said.
The fossils will be put on public display from Friday, it added.
