The nearly complete skull of a 95-million-year-old sauropod dinosaur 
found in Central Queensland, has unearthed new insights into how the
massive creature lived.  Researchers found the skull belonged to the
species Diamantinasaurus matildae, known for having small heads, long
necks and tails, barrel-like bodies, and four columnar legs.

It's suggested that sauropods were travelling between Australia and
South America, via Antarctica, during the mid-Cretaceous.   Warmer
conditions that far south might have been favourable for them.

The window between 100 and 95 million years ago was one of the
warmest in Earth's geologically recent history, meaning that Antarctica,
which was more or less where it is now, had no ice.

Is there a link to this article?

It’s pretty important news.

It is good to see the graphics right. The Sauropods had lips, not bared teeth.

Paleontology is with Geology - it's fine here.
Doesn't belong in a Board run by a Drunk.

I deleted his attempts to take away traffic from here.

Shows his character - that he 'steals' Topics from other Boards and Members (Geoff) to put up in his Board.
::)
Only he has answered his own Topic. But he might phone a friend in 5-Dogs Smith to try and make him look good.

Told yas he's a Botfly parasite on this Forum.

Paleontology—the study of fossil critters (and fossil plants.)

Your Board is not fit to accommodate any other Members here.
You as a Mod, are not fit to accommodate any other Members here.
Your Board and Modship are in receivership with this Forum.  ;D
Now scram!

LOL A little man with a load voice screaming nonsense.

Especially a board run by a bored Drunk 😂🤣😆

At a later time a possum (population) was thought to have migrated to Australia from South America via Antarctica. Continents separated and we have marsupials. Americas still have possums but no other marsupial critters.

There was a time when large fossils in Australia were hard to find. Now it looks like more and more will be found.

The Aborigines will be upset if they find Hominid remains.  ;D
