The fossil was discovered by scientists in the Vallcebre near Barcelona, where they were conducting geological research to study the origins of rock sediments. Vallcebre was a muddy region during the Late Cretaceous period and, it is thought, over the course of thousand years, the mud petrified to form sandstone, preserving the dinosaur scale impression that was recently discovered.
