Visited the American museum on natural history in NY. There is a new exhibit titled "The world's largest dinosaur" It features a life sized model of Mamenchisaurus. Also the fleashed out head and neck of Argentinasaurus.The exhibit focus on sauropod biology. From their birth to diet, evolution to the pulmonary and metabolic theory's. It features Some nice fossils from various superstars of sauropod history. here is the exhibit link. www.amnh.org/exhibitions/wld/photo bucket link. (there are some pic's from the rest of the museum in here.) s153.photobucket.com/upload/albums/chrissupo/?location=AMNH+Worlds+largest+dinosaur   |

And hey, there's a new poster out from Feenixx publishing that just happens to be about sauropods...
Okay, it was actually requested by the AMNH specifically because of their sauropod exhibit.
The downside is that their sea monsters poster is delayed in part because of that (and in part because some art work needs to be revised according to some researchers--my guess, for one, is that the mosasaur needs a heterocercal tail now).
