    The preserved and fossilized skeleton of the Iguanodon, which lived around 130 million years ago has been found and is being dug up. The Iguanodon is a lizard like reptile of approximately 2.5 meters long. Archaeologists comment that the findings were discovered in a clay pit where the clay is used for making of bricks. It is not the first time that such have been found. The jaw, pelvis, and ribs have so far been located and they are confident that the rest of the skeleton will be located. They say that this find is in excellent condition.
