New tiny dinosaur discovered in Australia - News Summed Up

New tiny dinosaur discovered in Australia


A new dinosaur species that lived 125 million years ago has been discovered in Australia, one so small, it was likely the size of a wallaby. Known as Galleonosaurus Dorisae, this herbivore was found in Victoria, in the southeastern part of the continent. Prior to finding Galleonosaurus Dorisae, the only other dinosaur found in this area had been Qantassaurus intrepidus. "However, the plethora of vertebrate fossils collected from Flat Rocks suggests that further dinosaurs await discovery," the study's abstract reads. Although Qantassaurus intrepidus was a similarly-sized dinosaur, it fed on different plants, which Dr. Herne believes "would have allowed them to coexist."
