This is a list of dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Australia or Antarctica.
| Name | Year | Formation | Location | Notes | Images | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 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 | Basal yet survived late enough to coexist with true sauropods[6] | ||
| Imperobator | 2019 | Snow Hill Island Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) | Antarctica | Unusually for a paravian, it lacked an enlarged sickle claw | ||
| Kakuru | 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[7] | ||
| 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[8] | ||
| Morrosaurus | 2016 | Snow Hill Island Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) | Antarctica | Closely related to Australian and South American ornithopods | ||
| 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[9] | ||
| 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[10] | ||
| 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[11] | ||
| Timimus | 1993 | Eumeralla Formation (Early Cretaceous, Albian) | Australia | Potentially a tyrannosauroid.[12] If so, it would be one of the few Gondwanan members of that group | ||
| Trinisaura | 2013 | Snow Hill Island Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian) | Antarctica | The first ornithopod named from Antarctica | ||
| Weewarrasaurus | 2018 | Griman Creek Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) | Australia | Unusually, its fossils were preserved in opal | ||
| Wintonotitan | 2009 | Winton Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian) | Australia | More gracile than other contemporary titanosaurs |
