New Dinosaur Species Found in Antarctica
Antartica - Scientists have discovered two new dinosaur species in Antarctica's frozen reaches, one a primitive carnivore that survived long after its closest relatives had gone extinct, the other a large plant eater found on a mountainside 400 miles from the South Pole, they reported yesterday.
The new finds, excavated in December by separate expeditions working 2,000 miles apart, are holdovers from a time when Antarctica had a relatively mild climate and formed the core of a Southern Hemisphere supercontinent known today as Gondwana.
