RIO DE JANEIRO — Torrential rains causing historic flooding in southern Brazil have revealed a 'very well-preserved' dinosaur fossil dating back some 200 million years, according to the research team who discovered it.

The fossil was first identified in May near the city of Sao Joao do Polesine, some 280 kilometers (170 miles) west of Porto Alegre, in a part of the Brazilian pampas dubbed the country's 'El Dorado' of paleontology.
