SYDNEY Kyrie Irving USA Jersey , July 27 (Xinhua) -- Paleontologists announced the discovery of "new" bones of an "old" dinosaur on Thursday, with the long thought to be lost site of an Austrosaurus mckillopi found in Australia's outback.


The name Austrosaurus, meaning "southern lizard," was given to the cretaceous-era sauropod back when it was discovered in 1932, but the dig site was thought to be lost until it was rediscovered in 2014 by a team of paleontologists.


Stephen Poropat from the Swinburne University of Technology spearheaded the drive to find the long-lost site, and told Xinhua on Thursday that this find has the potential to "tell us a lot" about how the evolution process for sauropod dinosaurs occurred.


"What the dinosaur represents is one of the oldest sauropods dinosaurs from the cretaceous period anyway, in Australia, it is actually represented by several bones," Poropat said.


"Basically, the bones we dug up in 2014, and 2015, belong to the exact same animal that was discovered in the 1930's. So together, those ribs and those vertebrae, not many bones - but enough to do something with them - that is the only specimen of Austrosaurus that has been found."


Poropat said by conducting a detailed analysis of the find, he was able to ascertain some "distinct characteristics" of Austrosaurus, and hopes to find a more complete specimen to fully develop an idea of the Australian dinosaurs position on the family tree - despite the inherent challenges.


"The simple fact is that in remote Queensland, most of the discoveries are made by people who make their living off the land. Paleontologists like me very seldom get the opportunity to go out there and do sustained searches for specimens," Poropat said.


"Also, because the Austrosaurus was buried in a marine environment, it's actually an environment that you wouldn't look at and would think it is unlikely to preserve these dinosaurs because they weren't living in the sea,"


"If they were going to be buried at the bottom of the sea, their carcasses would have to be washed into it, and then buried without being heavily scavenged," he added.


Because of this, the paleontologist is not expecting to find many more sauropods in the area that they surveyed; however, he is not ruling out anything as he continues his search to discover the secrets of these long- extinct creatures.


"We don't expect too many more sauropods to be found in the near future in that area," Poropat said.


"But of course, one chance discovery could change the game altogether."

MADRID, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Jonothan Castroviejo of the powerful Movistar Team is the first leader of the Vuelta de Espana (Tour of Spain) cycle race which began in the town of Jerez de la Frontera on Saturday.


Castroviejo's team were fastest home in a time of 14 minutes and 13 seconds in the 12.6 kilometer team time trial which made up the opening stage and as team leader, he becomes the first wearer of the leader's red jersey, with the remaining members of the team occupying the next eight positions.


The Cannondale Pro Cycling team team came in second, while Orica Green Edge were third, just six seconds behind Movistar as all of the favorites came in within 40 seconds of the stage winner.


Sunday's second stage takes the riders further south on a virtually flat stage of 174 kilometers between Algeceras and San Fernando (close to Cadiz) with just one third category climb in the first half of the stage.


It looks to be all set for the first sprint finish of the race, although the riders will have to be careful as the area is exposed to strong winds from the Atlantic and the favorites will have to be alert in order to avoid being caught out if splits appear in the main peloton leading to the formation of echelons, which can see riders lose several valuable minutes in the overall classification.


BEIJING, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Smog will persist in China from Sunday to Monday morning, as the meteorological center renews its yellow alert.


Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Sichuan will experience smog from Sunday to Monday morning, according to the National Meteorological Center (NMC).


Smog will be particularly heavy in parts of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi and Liaoning, the NMC said.


The public have been warned to take protective measures when engaging in outdoor activities and those that suffer from respiratory diseases are advised to stay indoors.


China has a four-tier color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue.


The government will select some investment projects in the fields of finance, oil, electricity, railways, telecommunications, resource development and public services for private investment, the country's top economic planner has said.


Further details on related policies and measures will be introduced by the end of the year, said the National Development and Reform Commission.


The reform plan sketched out by the just-concluded Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China prioritizes market economy reforms. The plan said that the market should play "a decisive role" in allocating resources, instead of "a fundamental role" as was the ca.
