A unique green dinosaur skeleton found in Utah may belong to a new species According to NatGeo
Reconstructing its remains may have led to the discovery of a new species of dinosaur. A team from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC) was able to reassemble the unique green dinosaur fossil that was found in southeast Utah. According to a National Geographic article, the 150 million year old dinosaur was initially seen in 2007 amidst a "logjam" of several dinosaur bones from different species, including camarasauru s, stegosaurus , diplodocu s, and allosaurus . According to NatGeo , the bones gathered for reconstruction do not come from a single dinosaur. Rather, they are an amalgam of components from two or more extinct reptiles belonging to the same species that were discovered at the location. Since this species may be new to science, its identity is unknown, but scientists think that because of its distinctive long neck and "four sturdy legs," it is a member of the genus Diplodocus.
