Fragments of teeth and bone found near Sumoto city on Awaji a small island off the coast of the western city of Kobe, about 435 kilometres west of Tokyo in the south-western of Japan represent a 70 million years old lambeosaurid dinosaur. According to Haruo Saegusa, a researcher at the Museum of Nature and Human Activities in Sumoto it\\\'s unusual to find so many fossils from what appears to have been a single animal because normally only one or two are found at one location. One of the largest fossils that are now discovered is a jaw bone measuring 53 centimetres long and 19 centimetres wide. The other fossils are between 7 centimetres and 23 centimetres.
