Double Discoveries
Last month, scientists announced two dinosaur discoveries. Research teams in Antarctica dug up the fossils of what are believed to be two new species of dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago.
One team led by William Hammer found the bones of what seems to be a plant-eating dinosaur from the sauropod group. About 2,000 miles away, a team led by James Martin found a meat-eating dinosaur from the theropod group.
Fossil finds in Antarctica are rare. Martin has dreamed of making a discovery for years. "After reading a book on dinosaurs in third grade, I decided I would work on fossils," he says. "And here I am, working on the most unique dinosaur ever found in the world's southernmost continent."
