Online Edition
Chilean scientists said they discovered duck-billed dinosaur fossils the far south region of Patagonia, saying it was the first time that hadrosaurs fossils showed up in South America.
The fossils, found in the oldest corridor between the country's far south Patagonia region and the Antarctic Peninsula, date back to prehistoric times, a group of scientists told a press conference yesterday.
They identified the dinosaurs belong to hadrosaurid and iguanodontia based on the discovered bones and skulls.
The hadrosaurs, or dinosaurs with duck beaks, are large herbivores with more than 2,000 teeth for grinding food. They were usually found in the northern hemisphere.
"This type of findings, with high concentration of bones, is new in the country," said Alexander Vargas, a scientist from University of Chile.
