The South Polar region of the Cretaceous comprised the continent of East Gondwana–modern day Australia and Antarctica–a product of the break-up of Gondwana in the Cretaceous Period. The southern region, during this time, was much warmer than it is today, ranging from perhaps 4–8 °C (39–46 °F) in the latest Cretaceous Maastrichtian in what is now southeastern Australia. This prevented permanent ice sheets from developing and fostered polar forests, which were largely dominated by conifers, cycads, and ferns, and relied on a temperate climate and heavy rainfall. Major fossil-bearing geological formations that record this area are: the Santa Marta and Sobral Formations of Seymour Island off the Antarctic Peninsula; the Snow Hill Island, Lopez de Bertodano, and the Hidden Lake Formations on Ja

  • الديناصورات القطبية الجنوبية تكاثرت خلال العصر الطباشيري المبكر (145-100 مليون سنة)، عندما كانت أستراليا لا تزال مرتبطة بأنتاركتيكا مشكلتين شرق جندوانا القارة التي إنفصلت عن أفريقيا وإنجرفت جنوبًا، أغلب هذه القارة أصبحت تقع داخل دائرة أنتاركتيكا، والمناخ آنذاك كان مختلفًا عن ما هو اليوم، وأدى ذلك إلى أن الحيوانات والنباتات كانت فريدة من نوعها، الكثير مما نعرفه عن حيوانات أستراليا القطبية أتى من حفريات عثر عليها في مغار الديناصورات وصخور مسطحة على الساحل الفيكتوري في جنوب شرق أستراليا.

  • La faune australe du Crétacé était dominée par les dinosaures alors que, à cette période, l'Australie et l'Antarctique ne formaient qu'un seul continent relativement isolé du reste du monde. De nombreux fossiles ont été découverts sur les sites de Dinosaur Cove et de Flat Rocks dans le sud de l'Australie. (fr)
