New dinosaur species discovered in Australia: taller than LeBron James, but shorter than the Williston airport runway. Link here. And over at wiki. Move over, Sue.

• largest dinosaur species ever found;
• first fossilized skeleton nicknamed: "Cooper"
• southwest Queensland; discovered in 2007, but only recently scientifically described and named
• Australotitan cooperensis; a sauropad;
• why "cooperensis"? discovered near Cooper Creek in the Eromanga Basin.     

Robyn Mackenzie co-founded the Eromanga Natural History Museum with her husband, Stuart, after dinosaur bones were first discovered on their family property in 2006. The remains of about 15 dinosaurs have since been found on the property.
