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."

    So does this mean they've found the dinosaur equivalent of Mohammed? And I wonder - was that carnivore at the bottom of the sea an egyptian?

    Sorry, i've got Passion of the Christ on my mind. :P

    Wow...There must really be a "Savage Land" heated by underground volcanos and alien technology, just like in the X-Men comic books.
