Three new species of Dinosaurs discovered in Australia

[Queasy]

Link - Australovenator wintonensis is now my new favorite dinosaur name.

Here's the Sydney Morning Herald story and the National Geographic story. Those two links have the better pics while the link at top is just a press release.

July 6, 2009--Meet Matilda, or Diamantinasaurus matildae (above, in an artist's depiction), one of two giant, plant-eating dinosaur species recently discovered in Australia.

The fossilized creature, which measures almost 60 feet (18 meters) long, was unearthed in the northeastern outback town of Winton, Queensland, in 2006. A third new species, a carnivorous dinosaur dubbed Banjo, was also found at the site. (Watch a video about Banjo's discovery.)

The dinosaurs were named after famed Australian poet Banjo Paterson and characters from his works.

All the plant eaters look like they stole grandpa's dentours off his bed stool.

I see the devils been at work in Australia planting more fossils, or was that just a memory of the devil planting it that was created 5 minutes ago with the rest of the universe?

It looks EXACTLY like a California poppy, but one of its pedals are bent so it can't be.
