British Antarctic Survey confirms Antarctica's first dinosaur fossil, 40 years on


The fossil was collected in December 1985 by geologist Mike Thomson, of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), during an expedition to James Ross Island, on the Antarctic Peninsula
A bone collected in Antarctica four decades ago has been identified as the first dinosaur fossil found on the continent, according to a study published in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. It is a tail vertebra from a titanosaur, the group of long-necked sauropods that includes the largest land animals that ever lived.
