A new study suggests these fossils could represent a new species of dinosaur. But beyond that, the dinosaur's identity is a mystery - sort of a Dino Doe. The small collection of bones includes seven shin, arm and toe bones, as well as a possible skull fragment. Based on the shapes and sizes of the bones, paleontologists think they could have belonged to a type of small- to medium-sized dinosaur, possibly a pachycephalosaur or ornithopod. ... http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/fossils/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080610/ts_afp/sciencedinosaurspaleontologygeology afp/20080610/sciencedinosaurspaleontologygeology AFP Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:07:02 GMT AFP - A dinosaur bone discovered in Australia has defied prevailing wisdom about how the world's continents separated from a super-continent millions of years ago, a new study published on Tuesday said. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/fossils/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080608/sc_livescience/newfossilssuggestancientcatsizedreptilesinantarctica livescience/20080608/newfossilssuggestancientcatsizedreptilesinantarctica LiveScience.com Sun, 08 Jun 2008 02:20:46 GMT LiveScience.com - Cat-sized reptiles once roamed what is now the icebox of Antarctica, snuggling up in burrows and peeping above ground to snag plant roots and insects.
