The research group Aragosaurus–IUCA, in collaboration with Spanish, French and Italian experts, shows that sauropods that lived at the end of the Cretaceous in Europe, maintained their diversity until extinction, 65 million years ago. The fossil remains of sauropods, which were found in the area known today as Pyrenees, have been analyzed. The scientific results have been published in the scientific journal Paleo 3.

The scientific paper shows that the Pyrenees is an ideal place to provide answers to the question of the impact of the asteroid as cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. The work indicates that for the time being, there is no evidence that shows a decline in the diversity of sauropods at the end of Cretaceous before its extinction.
