Fossil remains of sauropods – dinosaurs with long necks and tails, weighing up to 100 tons – have been found on every continent but one.

Now, scientists report unearthing the first evidence of these animals in Antarctica, the last holdout.

The Argentine research team is reporting the discovery of a single vertebra and links it to a group of sauropods known as titanosaurs, hefty plant-eaters that were said to dominate the ranks of herbivores during their heyday between 90 million and 65 million years ago….The find, previewed at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology‘s annual meeting in Las Vegas in early November, has just been formally published in the German journal Naturwissenschaften (The Science of Nature).
