Ca dinosaur?



Is there any truth to the rumor that I recently heard about a dinosaur site 
being discovered in California at a place called Granite Bay, on or near 
Folsom Lake?  The story I heard was that dinosaur fossils (possibly a small 
theropod) were found when the land was being prepared for a new subdivision, 
and that a local Sacramento area college was involved in getting the bones out 
of the ground before houses are built.  As far as I know, this would be the 
third  dinosaur discovery in Ca., the first being a nodosaurian beast from the 
San Diego area, and the second a possible hadrosaur from somewhere near Fresno.
 
  Does anybody have a list of confirmed Mesozoic vertebrate sites in 
California?
