New Dinosaur Species

I overheard my parents this weekend talking about one of Meyer's dinosaur toys, asking whether the toy depicted an actual species of dinosaur. I'm not entirely sure but, judging by the description of a new dinosaur species discovered in South Dakota, I think the toy manufacturers may have been ahead of the game. Meyer's toy definitely depicts a "horse-sized plant eater." I'd have to dig up the toy to check its spikes, plates, and so forth.

At any rate, the newly discovered fossils were donated to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis, a favorite childhood hangout for me and where I first learned about dinosaurs.
