An interesting report on the BBC websites this morning reports on the publication of a scientific paper on the existence of a large repository if fossilised remains from the late Triassic period salamanders in the Loulé area.
As if we don't have enough dinosaurs and the like of pre-historic and current era here in the Algarve! ;))

It appears that a large repository of salamander bones were identified during research between 2009 and 2011.by Dr Steve Brusatte, Dr. Octavio Matos, R. Butler and others.
