A New Dinosaur

Here's a turn up for the book or, rather, for the Natural History Museum in London: a "new" dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period which had lain neglected in the museum's collection for 90 years. It has been named Spinops sternbergorum in honour of the two men who unearthed the fossils in the depths of the museum's collection: Charles and Levi Sternberg. The illustration of the beast is by Dmitry Bogdanov. It's good to see the artist being credited. Click the title link for details.
