Skull of Diamantinasaurus dinosaur discovered
Apr 12^th, 2023 at 10:13am

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.

It’s pretty important news.

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. Grin
