excavation

Works are beginning on Monday to allow the excavation of a mass burial site linked to a historic mother and baby institution in the Republic of Ireland.

The new site is a piece of open ground which will be "subject to excavation, technical and forensic examinations," a garda statement said.

Gardaí say the area will be subjected to excavation, technical and forensic examinations over the coming days.

The species, and Prof Bamforth's excavation, feature in a new landmark BBC series - Walking With Dinosaurs - which uses visual effects and science to bring this prehistoric world to life.

The BBC had reported earlier this month that the skeleton had been left inside an unprotected tarpaulin shelter close to the excavation site in western Gujarat state since 2019 because of bureaucratic wrangling.
