Australia’s links to South America have just gotten a bit closer, but not due to economic forces, rather fossil forces. University of Queensland palaeontologist Dr Steve Salisbury was part of an international team of palaeontologists from the US, Argentina and Australia that identified a fossil that had previously only been found in South America.

So, what tipped the paleontologists off to the dinosaur’s South American origins? I bet it was the fruity hat.
