A giant predator (bigger than T-Rex) has been found in Australia, and may be the same species as a British dinosaur:

A 5cm-wide (2in) fossil may have something big to say about how dinosaurs ranged across the Earth.

The 125-million-year-old neck vertebra belonged to a spinosaurid - an animal with a crocodile-like snout that it probably used to prey on fish.

The specimen is the first such dinosaur identified in Australia but one that is nearly identical to a UK creature.
