Two new dinosaur species, *Petrustitan hungaricus* and *Uriash kadici*, have been discovered in the UNESCO-recognized Țara Hațegului GeoPark in Romania. The findings, made by an international team of researchers from the University of Bucharest, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and University College London, reveal that *Petrustitan hungaricus* was small, similar to *Magyarosaurus dacus*, while *Uriash kadici* was a giant, much larger than other dinosaurs in the area. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the island environment's impact on dinosaur size and suggests complex biogeographical connections between European, African, and Asian dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous period. The study, funded by The Royal Society and The Jurassic Foundation, highlights Romania's significance in paleontological research and indicates further discoveries may shed light on dinosaur evolution.
