Animal Bones Older Than 6,000 Years Found In Queensland – Some Say Liberal Hoax
New dinosaurs found in Australia
Australian palaeontologists say they have discovered three new dinosaur species after examining fossils dug up in Queensland.
Writing in the journal PLOS One, they describe one of the creatures as a fearsome predator with three large slashing claws on each hand.
The other two were herbivores: one a tall giraffe-like creature, the other of stocky build like a hippopotamus.
The fossils date back nearly 100m years to the middle of the Cretaceous period.
They were found in rocks known as the Winton Formation.
