"They are titanosaurs, which are plant-eating dinosaurs with extremely long necks and tails, massive bodies and elephant-like legs," Queensland state's Arts Minister Rod Welford said.
He said titanosaurs had also been found in South America and North Africa, which along with Australia once formed the super-continent Gondwana.
kewl. Also interesting because if the dicynodont fossil remains Cretaceous (ie not reworked), then we have a very different and interesting - and not so isolated - ecology in Gondwana than in Laurasia (ie the current NorAm). Someone needs to run through and find a very good terrestrial KT boundary in Gondwana.
