Three New Dinosaurs Found in Australia

July 04, 2009

Thanks to genius friend and former college dorm-mate Julia Spencer for reminding me about three new species of dinosaurs just discovered in Australia. I love that the dinosaurs were named after characters in Australia's famous ditty Waltzing Matilda.

One dinosaur was nicknamed "Banjo," after Banjo Patterson who wrote Waltzing Matilda back in 1885.
