Chinese paleontologists unearthed a giant dinosaur fossil wall in southwest China's Chongqing city.

As per the reports, it is estimated that a large number of dinosaur fossils are buried at least 20 meters under the ground.

More than 5,000 fossils have been excavated from the "fossil wall" in Yunyang County, since October last year and they are believed to be dated back to the Jurassic period.

The unearthed fossils belong to at least five dinosaur categories, such as ornithopods, sauropods and stegosaurs.
