Scientists discover duck-billed dinosaur lived in Chile 72 million years ago

Paleontologists from the University of Chile announce that a species of herbivorous dinosaur previously unknown in the southern hemisphere lived 72 million years ago in the extreme south of what is now Chilean Patagonia.

The discovery demonstrated that Chilean Patagonia served as a refuge for very ancient species of hadrosaurs, a type of duck-billed dinosaur common in North America, Asia and Europe.
