Diplodocus, Long Thought Exclusively American, Turns Up in Spain

The Spanish Diplodocus lived roughly 150 million years ago near the end of the Jurassic period.

[...]

According to the team, the presence of Diplodocus in Iberia offers strong evidence that dinosaurs moved between North America and Europe during that era, likely crossing temporary land bridges that appeared as the proto-North Atlantic Ocean periodically receded.

I want a map! I found this: https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/167017/view Is it the correct map? Is there a land (ice?) bridge between Newfoundland and Portugal? Am I interpreting it correctly?

We could save a lot of money and emissions if we brought the continents back together! Imagine Paris to New York by high speed train.

Ew no, not with the Americans behaving the way they are now. The Atlantic is fine where it is thank you very much.

This probably is the most succinct way to write the title, but assigning nationality to dinosaurs is _weird_.

Iberia is an airline my dudes. (/s before someone comes correcting me about it)
