Dinosaur fossil find in Antarctic

RESEARCHERS probing mountains and ancient seas in Antarctica have discovered two previously unknown types of dinosaurs, according to America’s National Science Foundation.

The fossilised remains, thousands of miles from each other, were found less than a week apart on the frozen continent. 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.

According to their report, the bones represent a new species of carnivorous dinosaur related to the enormous meat-eating tyrannosaurs and the voracious, but smaller and swifter Velociraptors featured in the film Jurassic Park.
