Global Dinosaur Skull Discoveries Reveal Ancient Continent Connections.

TL;DR Summary
The discovery of a near-complete skull of a sauropod dinosaur in Australia has revealed similarities to fossils found in South America, supporting the theory that the continents were once linked by an Antarctic land connection. The skull belonged to a member of the species Diamantinasaurus matildae, which was reconstructed digitally after being CT scanned. The sauropod was a member of the titanosaur group and would have been around as long as a tennis court, as tall as a basketball ring at the shoulder, and weighed around 25 tonnes.
