First Dinosaur Bone Found in Antarctica | Global News

A fossil tucked away in a drawer for forty years has been revealed as the first-ever dinosaur bone found in Antarctica — a massive Titanosaur tail bone unearthed in 1985 on James Ross Island. Discovered by Dr. Mark Evans while sorting specimens, it was instantly recognized by paleontologist Professor Paul Barrett as unmistakably dinosaurian, dating back 80 million years when Antarctica was lush and forested. This groundbreaking find, published in a scientific journal, proves the icy continent once teemed with giant prehistoric life — and it’s a major step in rewriting Antarctica’s ancient story.
