Scientists identified a new dinosaur that once roamed between Australia and Antarctica.
Foot and tail fossils found in 113-million-year-old rocks in Victoria in 2005 led to the discovery of a turkey-sized herbivore, a finding that provided new insights into the flora, fauna and climate that characterised the area at the time.
Dr Matt Herne from the University of Queensland’s School of Biological Sciences said the discovery demonstrates the diversity of dinosaur life that populated the ancient rift valley that once connected Australia to Antarctica.
