New Dinosaurs Found in Antarctica

Posted by michael on from the land-of-the-lost dept.

WorkEmail writes "Two new species of dinosaur, one a quick-moving meat-eater and the other a giant plant-eater, have been discovered in Antarctica, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. The 70 million-year-old fossils of the carnivore would have rested for millenniums at the bottom of an Antarctic sea, while remains of the 100-foot-long (30 meter) herbivore were found on the top of a mountain."

  1. Original Article... by authenticgeek · · Score: 5, Informative

    I don't remember hearing about one of these since I was younger - I suppose my focus has shifted since then :) It still excites me nonetheless.

    Anyway, the original National Science Foundation article can be found here and contains a little more info and some better pictures.
