Palaeontologists have uncovered a new species of tank-like dinosaur in a century-old Spanish coal mine.

The species was discovered after two incredibly-well preserved dinosaurs were unearthed near the town of Ariño in north eastern Spain.

The armoured dinosaurs are believed to have been around five metres long, a metre tall and two tonnes in weight.

110 millions years old, almost as old as Larry King :whistle:

What? This is astounding!

They mine coal in Spain? Does Obama know? Can he put a stop to it before they kill us all?
