A new species of dinosaur fossil was found in southeastern Utah in 2007. The 150-million year old bones were sent to Canada for casting and mounting, then transported to L.A. to be displayed at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
The dinosaur has been named "Gnatalie" by the excavation team because there were a lot of gnats at the scene of the dig in Utah. "Gnatalie" is a large herbivorous dinosaur with a long neck and tail, four “sturdy” legs, and stands at 75 feet long - almost twice the length of the average city bus - and weighs about five tons.
It's the most complete skeleton of its kind on the West Coast and the first green dinosaur skeleton to be publicly displayed. The green color is due to volcanic activity millions of years ago. The fossil will be a star attraction in a new wing of the Natural History Museum that opens in November.
