Re: New Zealand Dinosaurs



This is for John, but others may be interested too:)

I have in front of me 'The Great New Zealand Fossil Book' by Ron 
Brazier _et al._ 1990 (ISBN 0-477-02601-x).  I am afraid that when it 
was written only Hawkes Bay dinosaurs are mentioned.  I know of no 
other discoveries than those.

One caudal vertebra was described in 1981 and two 'toe bones' have 
also been found of theropods.  The other bone fragment found there 
was part of the illium of an ornithopod (similar to a hypsolophodont 
form).  

I am sure more has been found since then though?  Any New 
Zealanders to comment???
