Source: Telegraph (UK) (7-3-09)
Australian palaeontologists have discovered three new dinosaur species among fossils at the bottom of a Queensland lake.
The two herbivores and one carnivore, which date back nearly 100m years to the middle of the Cretaceous period, were excavated from the Winton formation in the state's west. They are the first significant dinosaur discovery in Australia since 1981.
All of the dinosaurs have been named after characters in the famous Australian bush poem Waltzing Matilda.
