The first dinosaur fossil found on the Antarctic continent has been described scientifically. The fossil, a vertebra, was found on a British Antarctic Survey (BAS) expedition in 1985 but has only recently been recognized as that of a dinosaur. The paper, "A titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica," is published in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.
