Dinosaur Found Frozen in Antarctica by Jason Witt
[Mar 31, 2008]
When you receive the Seal you begin to notice the wonders of God's Creation. One of those wonders is a dinosaur recently discovered frozen in Antarctica, thought to be quite ancient.
This dinosaur is thought to be 190 million years old. Even if those figures are not correct, it was a time in history when the continent of Antarctica was capable of supporting life.
And not just the life of a creature that would eat fish on the coast either. Antarctica had to be able to support the life of one of the largest creatures ever to walk the earth--a sauropodomorph.
That is what the dinosaur is that was found frozen on Antarctica. That means the ice had to be there for a long time. But there had to be a hospitable climate nearby so the dinosaur could wander there.
Sauropodomorph dinosaurs had incredibly long necks that enabled them to graze high up in the trees no other creatures could reach. They needed long tails to balance themselves with such long necks.
The researchers that found the dinosaur fossils were from Augustan College of Rock Island, Illinois. And they were found 15 years ago but they were not examined until just recently.
