He noted the irony of the fact that Bolsonaro had begun his Presidential campaign in the city of Presidente Prudente, named for Brazil’s first civilian President, Prudente de Morais.

Fossils of the dinosaur’s neck and spinal vertebrae were found near the city of Presidente Prudente in Sao Paulo state in the 1950s by paleontologist Llewellyn Ivor Price, who died in 1980 without being acknowledged for the discovery.
