I Know Dino has decided to do a weekly roundup of news about dinosaurs. Here’s what came out this week:
- New York Daily News reported a fossil that was thought to be a fake replica for 30 years is actually a new species of ichthyosaur, called Ichthyosaurus Anningae
- America’s quietest place is Dinosaur National Monument in UT, according to AAAS
- A truck carrying 8 dinosaur models was fined at a toll booth in China. See the ridiculous video on Yahoo! Screen
- Sauropods (long-necked dinosaurs) probably drank infrequently or got their water intake from the plants they ate, according to National Geographic
- Dark matter may have been the cause of dinosaurs going extinct. According to AAAS, clouds of dust, caused by dark matter, may have triggered the deadly comet to hit the earth
