Fossils in Antarctica....sounds highly unlikely. But it's true: fossils have been found in Antarctica, and not just any fossils but temperate fossils. But how could fossils of creatures that could have only existed in climates of the equator end up in Antarctica?
That's because of plate tectonics. According to scientists, Antarctica used to be were Brazil is now millions of years before, when dinosaurs walked the land. That could explain the mystery of the fossils and why fossils of other land dinosaurs have been found on different continents across the ocean. You couldn't expect a land animal to suddenly become a swimming superstar but you could expect the continents to move over millions of years.
