A number of news stories in Spanish about the discovery of fossils of
two kinds of ornithopods, a possible hadrosaur and a basal
iguanodont, in the Late Cretaceous rocks of southern Chile in
Provincia de Última Esperanza, at the tip of South America. The
stories indicate there is a dinosaur bonebed. The discovery of
Nothofagus leaves (the earliest known in South America) links the
flora to Antarctica, where Nothofagus is known from earlier in the
Cretaceous.
