WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Two new species of dinosaur, one a quick-moving meat-eater and the other a giant plant-eater, have been discovered in Antarctica, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.
The 70 million-year-old fossils of the carnivore would have rested for millenniums at the bottom of an Antarctic sea, while remains of the 100-foot-long (30 meter) herbivore were found on the top of a mountain.
They would have lived in a different Antarctica -- one that was warm and wet, the two teams of researchers, both funded by the National Science Foundation, said.
