Paleontologists have made the first discovery of dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong, found within red sedimentary rocks on the tiny, uninhabited Port Island (also called Chek Chau, meaning “red island”) northeast of the metropolis. The historic finding, which was made in Hong Kong’s UNESCO Global Geopark, was announced in a statement from the Hong Kong government last week.

“The discovery is of great significance and provides new evidence for research on paleoecology in Hong Kong,” Bernadette Linn, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Development, says in the statement.
