A ~10cm Titanosaur Tail Vertebra Found In 1985 On James Ross Island, Antarctica ~40 Years Ago Has Been Identified As Antarctica’s First Dinosaur Bone. It Dates To ~82 Mya, When The Continent Had Lush Forests. Titanosaurs Were The Group That Included Earth’s Largest Dinosaurs, And This Plant-Eater Was ~7m Long, Likely A Juvenile Or Small Adult.

U.S Researchers Analyzed The Largest T. Rex Dataset, 17 Leg Bones, To Study Growth Rings, Revealing Hidden Annual Patterns. The Findings Show T. Rex Reached Full Adult Size (~8 Tons) Around Age 35–40, Not 20–25 As Previously Thought. They Matured Gradually Over Decades With Prolonged Adolescence, Implying Lifespans Well Beyond 40 Years.
