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.
plant fossils (glossopteris) were found there.
Dromaeosaurs lived on every continent except Australia. However, dromaeosaur fossils have even been found in Antarctica.
This distribution can be explained by the phenomenon of continental drift, where the continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea and then gradually drifted apart. Fossils found in Australia, India, and Antarctica were once part of the southern supercontinent Gondwana, which is why similar fossils can be found in these regions but not in Europe or North America.
There are fossils of trilobites that have been found in New York.
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.
Australia is the continent found between Antarctica and the Equator.
Dinosaurs have been found on all 7 continents, even 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.
The prehistoric Doedicurus lived in what is now North and South America. Many of the fossils found are found in Argentina.
The fossil of the Glossopteris, a prehistoric plant, occurs on the most landmasses. Its remains have been found in South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and India, providing significant evidence for the theory of continental drift. The widespread distribution of Glossopteris fossils supports the idea that these continents were once connected as part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
Australia and Antarctica are.
