Oldest Australian Dinosaur Is A Theropod Mystery Box | Ozraptor
528Australin paleontology is in a weird spot. Australia is ostensibly a first world country, occupied by western culture for 400 years. There are large swathes of the country where people cannot super easily live, where there is a lot of sparse vegetation, lots of dirt and sand and rocks. Sounds like a good place for fossils, and it sort of is. The western scientists first familiarized themselves with Australia’s recent prehistoric past – the fossils and subfossils of the Pleistocene. This occurred in the 1800s. Dinosaur fossils were likely discovered in Australia before they were identified as dinosaurs, but the first officially identified and described dinosaur fossil was a claw in 1903. Overall, though, dinosaur fossils are comparatively rare throughout Australia. This is because most of Western Australia simply doesn’t have a lot of the right rocks from the right time exposed in the area for people to look in. Despite this quirk of geology, well over a handful of dinosaurs and other prehistoric Mesozoic animals have been found and described sine the 1900s from the few places that do happen to have dino-age rocks – even some from the notoriously fossil-poor western half of Australia, though mostly from near the coast. One such find is probably one of the worst I have ever covered.
