    This is a major find because it is a fairly complete skeleton, including the skull. Previous titanosaur finds have been only fragmentary. Now they can compare the partial remains with something more or less complete, which makes for tasty science. A fine day for paleontology.

    Congrats to the Science Museum of Minnesota and Kristi Curry Rogers.
