The dinosaur that lived in Castellón and survived a serious infection 125 million years ago: it is the first known case

A dinosaur fossil discovered in Morella, one of the great paleontological enclaves of the European Lower Cretaceous, in the province of Castellón, has revealed itself to be the first known case of a dinosaur that survived a severe infection 125 million years ago. The discovery demonstrates that dinosaurs also got sick, suffered infections, and were able to live with serious injuries for a time, offering new perspectives on the biology and resilience of these prehistoric animals.

At Monte Molião, in Lagos, the doors opened to a past that is discovered little by little

The archaeological site of Monte Molião, in Lagos, is a location with traces of occupation from the Iron Age (4th century BC) to the Roman-Imperial period (1st-2nd centuries AD), which has been investigated since 2006 through a collaboration between the Lagos Municipal Council, the Faculty of Letters and UNIARQ at the University of Lisbon. The project, directed by Professor Ana Margarida Arruda and currently by researcher Elisa Sousa, revealed well-preserved urban planning, with three organized sectors, a Roman cistern and traces of various activities such as metallurgy, pottery and grain processing. Interdisciplinary studies, including malacological fauna analysis, indicate possible environmental changes and high-energy events that affected the landscape over the centuries. The project also includes a strong pedagogical component, having trained approximately 250 to 300 archaeology students, and envisions the enhancement of the site with the creation of a visit route and the future exhibition of pieces at the Museum of Lagos.
