Experts have unveiled Malaysia's first ever dinosaur fossil after nearly two-years of digging, it's been reported.

The find is a 75 million-year-old tooth. Less than an inch long, it is thought to have belonged to a fish-eating predator - a member of the spinosaurid family of dinosaurs, Australia's SBS public service broadcaster reports

It was found in the central state of Pahang but the exact location is being kept secret to prevent "lawless excavations by private fossil collectors or robbers". Scientists are also hoping are are more such discoveries to be made.
