Jurassic Relics Arrive at Exposition Park After 150 Million Years

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is set to unveil a new dinosaur exhibit featuring "Gnatalie," a previously undiscovered species of sauropod with a unique green hue. Discovered in Utah in 2007, Gnatalie's fossils were excavated over a decade and have been meticulously prepared for display. The exhibit is part of the museum's $75-million NHM Commons expansion, and the dinosaur will be a centerpiece, offering visitors a glimpse into the Jurassic era.

"World's Only Green-Boned Dinosaur 'Gnatalie' Debuts in LA"

The Natural History Museum in Los Angeles will display "Gnatalie," the only known green-boned dinosaur, whose unique coloration comes from the mineral celadonite. Discovered in Utah in 2007, this long-necked herbivore lived 150 million years ago and is similar to the Diplodocus. The green bones resulted from volcanic activity during fossilization, making Gnatalie a rare and significant find for paleontologists.

425-Million-Year-Old Predatory Worm Fossil Unearthed in UK Quarry

Scientists have unearthed a 425-million-year-old carnivorous marine worm named Radnorscolex latus in Herefordshire, which had a retractable throat to catch prey. Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers found it had sharp teeth and hooks for movement. Despite its predatory nature, it only grew to about 8cm long and belonged to the extinct Palaeoscolecids group. The findings are published in Papers in Palaeontology.

"Pink 'Barbie Pigs' and Other Bizarre New Species Found in Pacific Ocean"

Scientists on a deep-sea expedition in the Pacific Ocean have discovered and photographed several new species, including a hot pink sea pig dubbed the "Barbie pig," a see-through sea cucumber, and otherworldly glass sponges. The team, part of the SMARTEX expedition to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, also found rattail fish and abyssal sea anemones living 13,000 feet beneath the ocean's surface. The specimens collected will be studied at the Natural History Museum, with many expected to be identified as new species.
