在侏罗纪,澳大利亚位于冈瓦纳大陆的西南部,南极大陆的外侧,南极与位于现在的南美南端的部分连接着。恐龙就从这里进入南极大陆,然后横穿南极大陆到达澳大利亚。这样的大陆关系被证实是基于在南极发现了侏罗纪和白垩纪后期的恐龙化石。那时,南极大陆已经漂移到现在的位置,但那里仍生存着恐龙,这太令人惊奇了。 In the Jurassic, Australia was located on the southwestern part of the mainland of Gondwana and on the outside of the Antarctic continent. The Antarctic was connected to the present southernmost part of South America. From here, the dinosaurs enter the Antarctic continent and cross the Antarctic continent to reach Australia. Such continental relations proved to be based on the discovery of dinosaur fossils in the late Jurassic and Late Cretaceous in the Antarctic. At that time, the Antarctic continent has drifted to its present location, but there are still dinosaurs surviving, which is surprising.
