In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

"Schleitheimia schutzi .... in what is now Switzerland.
The ancient animal is one of the earliest representatives of Sauropodomorpha, a large group of long-necked, herbivorous
dinosaurs that includes the sauropods and their ancestral relatives.
The fragmentary fossilized remains of Schleitheimia schutzi were found in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen.
The fossils were long considered to belong to Plateosaurus, a genus of herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Triassic period in what are now Central and Northern Europe, Greenland, and North America.
Professor Rauhut and co-authors re-examined the specimens and concluded that they were from a distinct species of
sauropodomorph dinosaur.
Although Schleitheimia schutzi probably looked quite similar to Plateosaurus, this dinosaur with an estimated 29.5-33 foot long body length is already significantly larger than the latter.
The discovery of Schleitheimia schutzi shows that at least three different species of early sauropodomorph dinosaurs lived in what is now Switzerland."
