	JAMESROSSISLAND.JPG | Go Back Photograph by: Melissa Rider National Science Foundation Date Taken: December 9, 2003   Team members with dinosaur hunters Judd Case and James Martin explore the rocks on James Ross Island, near the Antarctic Peninsula. During this expedition they believe they found the fossilized bones of an entriely new species of carnivorous dinosaur related to tyrannosaurs and velociraptors. Features of the animal's bones and teeth led the researchers to surmise the animal may represent a population of carnivores that survived in the Antarctic long after they had been succeeded by other predators elsewhere on the globe.     To download a high-resolution version of this image (1333 Kb), click here.
