It’ll be interesting to see how many more dinosaur discoveries come out of Antarctica.
Shouldn’t we ping sauropod to this thread?
Right....as if its accurate huh? LOL....whats “Proven” is nothing other than it was there. Get over it.
I wouldn’t expect many discoveries considering how little of the land area is ice free.
IN Texas our mantra is “long live long necks”.
Oh...this is about dinosaurs? Never mind.
