I'm not sure of what fossils were found in Antarctica from all time periods, but I do know that there were a variety of plants and animals there during the Mesozoic. Some of the animals that I will list were found in Australia, which, at this time, was connected to Antarctica and had the same kinds of fauna and flora, as well as climate. Fossils of dinosaurs like Antarctopelta (an ankylosaur), Antarctosaurus (a sauropod), Cryolophosaurus (a theropod), and Leallynasaura (a small, herbivorous, bipedal dinosaur). There were amphibians, including the 16 foot long Koolasuchus, that filled a niche similar to modern crocodillians. In the shallow seas and/or rivers there were also plesiosaurs.
The plants were adapted for a cool climate with cold winters, and included conifers and ferns, as well as mosses and lichens.

Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent except?
Dinosaurs have been found on all 7 continents, even Antarctica.
Are dinosaur fossils in all continents?
Yes, dinosaur fossils have been found on all continents, including Antarctica. Fossils from different regions provide valuable insights into the diversity and distribution of dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era.
Why were so few dinosaurs found in Antarctica?
The reason that so few dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica is because it is almost impossible to dig for fossils on most of Antarctica. First, most if it is underneath a mile of ice. Secondly, because Antarctica is so harsh, few paleontologists go to dig even in the areas of rock that are exposed. To me, for those reasons, it's surprising that any dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica.
What are some fossils of organisms in some meteorites?
No such thing has ever been found to exist. No fossils have been proven to have been found in meteorites. Some scientists claim that they have found tiny fossils in meteorites from Mars but they can not prove the formations in the rocks aren't naturally occurring.
How does fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate on the earth?
Fossils provide evidence of past life forms that existed in different environments and climates. By studying the types and distribution of fossils, scientists can infer how the Earth's surface and climate have changed over time. For example, fossils of tropical plants found in polar regions suggest a much warmer climate in the past.

Dinosaurs have been found on all 7 continents, even Antarctica.
Why have so few dinosaur been found in Antarctica?
So few dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica because the entire continent is covered in ice, making it hard to dig and/or search for large fossils.
What kinds of fossils have been found in the Oregon caves?

What prehistoric horse fossils can be found in Australia and Antarctica?
No prehistoric horse fossils have been found in either Australia or Antarctica. The horse had not occupied the Australian continent prior to the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, and they have never existed, to our knowledge, in Antarctica.
Why have so few fossil dinosaurs been found in Antarctica?
The biggest problem with finding fossils in Antarctica is that everything is covered in ice, making it hard for archaeologists to excavate and find fossils.
Name the other fossil animals that have been found in Antarctica?
dinosaurs
What continent did dromaeosaurs live on?
Dromaeosaurs lived on every continent except Australia. However, dromaeosaur fossils have even been found in Antarctica.
How many fossils were found in each continent?
Fossils have been found on all continents, including Antarctica. The number of fossils found varies greatly depending on the location and time period. Some continents, like North America and Europe, have a high concentration of fossil sites due to their geology and past environments.
What type of fossils have been found in a dilophosaurus?
Fossils
Where have fossils of pterosaurs been found?
Pterosaur fossils have been found on all continents with the possible exception of Antarctica, but that doesn't mean that pterosaurs didn't live in Antarctica. Because they could fly, were warm blooded, and existed for 145 million years, various species adapted to live in different parts of the world, and pterosaurs probably lived on all continents in all climates.
Are dinosaur fossils in all continents?
Yes, dinosaur fossils have been found on all continents, including Antarctica. Fossils from different regions provide valuable insights into the diversity and distribution of dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era.
