flag New dinosaur fossils in Australia reveal smaller carcharodontosaurs and oldest megaraptorid, reshaping predator views.

flag Paleontologists have uncovered new dinosaur fossils in Victoria, Australia, including evidence of the first carcharodontosaurs found in the country. flag These fossils, along with the oldest known megaraptorid fossils, date back to the Cretaceous period and suggest a unique predator hierarchy in Australia compared to other continents. flag The carcharodontosaurs, typically large carnivores, were surprisingly small in Australia, measuring only 2-4 meters, while megaraptorids were likely apex predators preying on smaller dinosaurs. flag These findings expand our understanding of dinosaur ecosystems in Australia and their connections to South America through Antarctica.
