Here's a motivational story to all of you aspiring paleontologists out there: an amateur in the said practice recently unearthed what could be the largest dinosaur mass grave in Switzerland.

Quite interestingly, the grave was found while our guy was looking at a construction site for a house in the village of Frick, near the German border. According to professional paleontologists, the bones belonged Plateosaurus, massive herbivores that existed during the late Triassic Period around 216 to 199 million years ago.

"It could be that the area extends for 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) and in that case, you could certainly say it's the biggest site in Europe", commented Germany-based paleontologist Martin Sander from University of Bonn.

Prior to this, similar mass graves were found in Germany. However, scientists are unable to verify the exact size of these areas because one is covered by the town of Halberstadt and the other by a forest near the town of Trossingen.
