Tiny dinosaur that roamed ‘lost world’ between Australia and Antarctica identified

Fossils found in 113-million-year-old rocks in Victoria lead to discovery of turkey-sized herbivore which lived in rift valley

More than 10 years after fossils were discovered sticking out of a rock platform in Victoria's remote south-west, scientists have identified a new dinosaur that once roamed the "lost world" between Australia and Antarctica.

Foot and tail fossils found in 113-million-year-old rocks near Cape Otway in 2005 have led to the discovery of a turkey-sized herbivore which lived in the Australian-Antarctic rift valley.
