Repair Dinosaur Fossils
This recently taken image shows experts identifying every pieces of dinosaur fossil in the workroom of the biggest dinosaur fossils repairing project going on in Guangxi Nature Museum.

The fossils were discovered in August, 2001 at Liubang Village, Fusui County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Southwest China. This, according to the experts, is the first time that early Cretaceous period dinosaur framework fossils are found in South China. Presently, more than 60 pieces of fossils are identified as ribs, thighbones, phalanges, etc. The longest rib fossil measured 1.6 meters (5.2 feet). After six months' work, one-third fossils have been repaired, and the whole project's completion requires another year's efforts.
