A fossil discovered in 1985 during a British Antarctic Survey expedition has been identified as the first dinosaur bone found in Antarctica. The vertebra belongs to a Titanosaur, a long-necked herbivorous sauropod, and provides evidence of dinosaurs in Antarctica during the Late Cretaceous period. The discovery highlights the continent's ancient temperate forests and suggests potential for more dinosaur findings as ice retreats.

A rare dinosaur fossil from Antarctica, found in 1985 and stored in a drawer, was identified as a titanosaur tail bone. Paleontologist Mark Evans later confirmed the discovery, which was published in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

Scientists discovered a rare titanosaur dinosaur tail fossil in Antarctica, found in 1985 but identified decades later as a dinosaur. The fossil, collected by Mike Thomson during an expedition, was analyzed by Mark Evans and other researchers, confirming its origin. The findings were published in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

A rare dinosaur fossil from Antarctica, discovered in 1985 and stored in a drawer, was identified as a titanosaur tail bone. Scientists confirmed it as a new find decades later using modern technology, publishing their results in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

Scientists discovered a rare titanosaur dinosaur tail fossil in Antarctica, found in 1985 but identified decades later from a drawer. The fossil, collected during an expedition to James Ross Island, was confirmed as a small, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in a forested Antarctica millions of years ago.
