The somewhat rough uncovering of Norway's first dinosaur happened in the 
North Sea, at an entire 2256 metres below the seabed. It had been there 
for nearly 200 million years, ever since the time the North Sea wasn't a 
sea at all, but an enormous alluvial plane.

It is merely a coincidence that the remains of the old dinosaur now see 
the light of day again, or more precisely, parts of the dinosaur. The 
fossil is in fact just a crushed knucklebone in a drilling core -- a long 
cylinder of rock drilled out from an exploration well at the Snorre 
offshore field.

Norway's first dinosaur fossil is a Plateosaurus [...]

The Plateosaurus at the Snorre offshore field had a hollow grave. The 
fossil, which was found 2256 metres below the seabed, represents the 
world's deepest dinosaur finding. But it is by no means certain that the 
record-breaking knucklebone is a rarity down there in the abyss.
