Titanosaurs were sauropods, four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs with long necks and tails. Sauropods included some 150 species whose remains have been found around the world, but never in Antarctica until now

• Velociraptor didn't slash prey, it 'hooked' victims and ate them alive - and its claws may have led to the evolution of flight

The new specimen was discovered on James Ross Island by an Argentinian-led team.

It consists of section of vertebrae almost 20cm long believed to have come from the middle third of the dinosaur's tail.

Scientists identified it as belonging to a 'lithostrotian titanosaur' from the Late Cretaceous period around 70 million years ago.

The discovery is reported in the German journal Naturwissenschaften - The Science of Nature.

Authors Dr Ignacio Alejandro Cerda, from the Conicet research institute in Argentina, and colleagues wrote: 'Our finding indicates that advanced titanosaurs achieved a global distribution at least by the Late Cretaceous.'

Titanosaurs included the mighty Argentinosaurus, which may have reached 100ft in length.

However the discovery of a single vertebrae fossil yielded too little information to allow speculation about the dinosaur's species.
