The discovery of the fossil is the result of a geoscience exploration study by the UMK research team led by FSB Lecturer, Arham Muchtar Achmad Bahar and Professor Surono Martosuwito with Professor Udi Hartono assisted by Mohd Syakir Sulaiman. Arham Muchtar said, as reported by Sinar,

“These findings prove that once upon a time between 160 to 66 million years ago, dinosaurs once lived in a location we now know as Tanah Merah, Kelantan. This is one of the findings from many other findings as a result of exploration and research activities that we carry out in Kelantan.”
