Many? Boy, have I been misinformed. A crummy (no offence) distal
tibia is the most exciting dinosaur news to come out of Oz for ages
(although we're still awaiting the publication of Qantassaurus).

Love the spelling. Why can't we have more 'Minmi's, apparently the
shortest of all dinosaur generic names? The fewer the letters the
less likely they are to be misspelled. I vote the next dinosaur
species should be named "Bob (insert place)ensis". Although I'm
sure at least one newspaper article would come up with "Boob" or
something similar.  :)
