Kangaroos and wallabies weren't around in Australia 125 million years ago, but small herbivorous dinosaurs that also bounded around on powerful back legs were. Researchers discovered five fossilized jaws from a previously unknown dinosaur in the state of Victoria that was about the size of a modern day wallaby.Wallabies are diminutive members of the taxonomy that also includes kangaroos, and they can be anywhere from just under a foot to 3.2 feet tall.Galleonosaurus dorisae is named both for the shape of its jaw, which resembles the hull of a galleon ship, and for paleontologist Doris Segets Villiers, who has studied fossils in the area.
Do you think that they will find more fossils in the future?
Yes, because if they have found them there before then I think that they will find more.
Do you think this might be the ancestor of the kangaroo?
Yes, because they both jump on there back feet.

This story was already done which probably explains the lack of comments. You also didn't reply to the one comment you have.
Yes, because if they found them in that one area there must be more considering it needed a family in order to actually survive. There is enough evidence to clarify it as an ancestor of the kangaroo, but it is hard to tell for sure. It was also located in Australia where kangaroos originate from.
