Two new species of dinosaurs, one a quick – moving meat-eater and the other a giant-plant eater, have been discovered in Antarctica. The 70 million year-old fossil of the carnivore would have rested for millenniums at the bottom of the Antarctica Sea, while the remains of the 30 meter long eater were found on the top of a mountain.
The little carnivore about 1.8 meters tall was found on James Ross Island, of the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Not yet named, the animal probably floated out to the sea after it died and settled to the bottom of what was then a shallow area of the Weddell Sea. Its bones and teeth suggest it may represent a population of two – legged carnivores that survived in the Antarctic long after other predators took over elsewhere on the globe. “For whatever reason, they were still hanging out on the Antarctic continent.” Case said in a statement.
A second team led by William Hammer of Augustuna College in Rock Island, Illinois, found the 200 million year old plant eater’s fossil’s on a mountaintop 13,000 feet (3,900 meters) high near the Beard more Glacier Now known as Mt. Kirk Patrick, the area was once a soft riverbed.
