New Dinosaur Fossils Found in Antarctica

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- Researchers probing mountains and ancient seas in Antarctica have discovered two previously unknown types of dinosaurs, the National Science Foundation reported Thursday.

The fossilized remains, thousands of miles from each other, were found less than a week apart on the frozen continent that once had a far warmer climate.

One is an early carnivore, a relative of the fierce Tyrannosaur, that would have lived many millions of years after the other dinosaur, a plant-eating beast, was alive.

The carnivore was found on James Ross Island, off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, by Judd Case, James Martin and their research team.
