Dinosaurs and Fossils

They are the first dinosaur footprints found in New Zealand although bones, mostly vertebrae, have been found in two North Island locations.

The group of Chinese and British scientists say that the reptile-like animal, named in honour of the 200th anniversary of the birth of evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin, is evidence of a missing link in Darwin's proposed modular evolution - where natural selection forces a whole series of traits to change rapidly rather than just one.
