Antarctopelta |
2006 |
Snow Hill Island Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) |
Antarctica |
Possessed unusual caudal vertebrae that may have supported a "macuahuitl" as in Stegouros[1] |
 |
Atlascopcosaurus |
1989 |
Eumeralla Formation (Early Cretaceous, Aptian to Albian) |
Australia |
Only known from remains of jaws and teeth |
 |
Australotitan |
2021 |
Winton Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian to Turonian) |
Australia |
The largest dinosaur known from Australia, comparable in size to large South American dinosaurs. Potentially a synonym of the contemporary Diamantinasaurus[2] |
 |
Australovenator |
2009 |
Winton Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) |
Australia |
Analysis of its arms suggests it was well-adapted to grasping[3] |
 |
Austrosaurus |
1933 |
Allaru Formation (Early Cretaceous, Albian) |
Australia |
Its holotype was found associated with marine shells |
 |
Cryolophosaurus |
1994 |
Hanson Formation (Early Jurassic, Pliensbachian) |
Antarctica ( Ross Dependency) |
Had a distinctive "pompadour" crest that spanned the head from side to side |
 |
Diamantinasaurus |
2009 |
Winton Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) |
Australia |
May have been closely related to South American titanosaurs, suggesting they dispersed to Australia via Antarctica[4] |
 |
Diluvicursor |
2018 |
Eumeralla Formation (Early Cretaceous, Albian) |
Australia |
Lived in a prehistoric floodplain close to a high energy river |
 |
Fostoria |
2019 |
Griman Creek Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) |
Australia |
Four individuals have been found in association |
 |
Fulgurotherium |
1932 |
Griman Creek Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) |
Australia |
Fragmentary, but may have been an elasmarian[5] |
 |
Galleonosaurus |
2019 |
Wonthaggi Formation (Early Cretaceous, Barremian) |
Australia |
Its upper jaw bone resembles a galleon when turned upside down |
 |
Glacialisaurus |
2007 |
Hanson Formation (Early Jurassic, Pliensbachian) |
Antarctica ( Ross Dependency) |
Basal yet survived late enough to coexist with true sauropods[6] |
 |
Imperobator |
2019 |
Snow Hill Island Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) |
Antarctica |
Initially described as a basal paravian although it may potentially be an unenlagiine[7] |
 |

1980 |
Bulldog Shale (Early Cretaceous, Aptian) |
Australia |
Poorly known |
 |
Kunbarrasaurus |
2015 |
Allaru Formation, Toolebuc Formation (Early Cretaceous, Albian) |
Australia |
Preserves stomach contents containing ferns, fruit and seeds[8] |
 |
Leaellynasaura |
1989 |
Eumeralla Formation (Early Cretaceous, Aptian to Albian) |
Australia |
One referred specimen has an extremely long tail. If it does belong to this genus, it would be three times as long as the rest of the body |
 |
Minmi |
1980 |
Bungil Formation (Early Cretaceous, Aptian) |
Australia |
Had long legs for an ankylosaur, possibly to help it run into bushes for protection[9] |
 |
Morrosaurus |
2016 |
Snow Hill Island Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) |
Antarctica |
Closely related to Australian and South American ornithopods[5] |
 |
Muttaburrasaurus |
1981 |
Allaru Formation?, Mackunda Formation (Early Cretaceous, Albian) |
Australia |
Possessed a short oval bump on its snout |
 |
Ozraptor |
1998 |
Colalura Sandstone (Middle Jurassic, Bajocian) |
Australia |
Potentially the oldest known abelisauroid[10] |
 |
Qantassaurus |
1999 |
Wonthaggi Formation (Early Cretaceous, Barremian) |
Australia |
Distinguished from other contemporary ornithopods by its relatively short dentary |
 |
Rapator |
1932 |
Griman Creek Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) |
Australia |
Known from only a metacarpal |
 |
Rhoetosaurus |
1926 |
Walloon Coal Measures (Late Jurassic, Oxfordian) |
Australia |
Retains four claws on its hind feet, a basal trait |
 |
Savannasaurus |
2016 |
Winton Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian to Turonian) |
Australia |
May have spent more time near water than other sauropods[11] |
 |
Serendipaceratops |
2003 |
Wonthaggi Formation (Early Cretaceous, Aptian) |
Australia |
Possessed a robust ulna similar to that of ceratopsians and ankylosaurs, but was likely a member of the latter group[12] |
|
Timimus |
1993 |
Eumeralla Formation (Early Cretaceous, Albian) |
Australia |
Potentially a tyrannosauroid.[13] If so, it would be one of the few Gondwanan members of that group |
 |

Antarctica |
The first ornithopod named from Antarctica |
 |
Weewarrasaurus |
