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 J ames Ross Island, of the coast of the
Antarctic Peninsula.

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 eaters fossils on a mountaintop 13,000 feet (3,900 meters) high near the Beard
