(NewsNation) — A 75-foot-long, 150-million-year-old dinosaur will be available for public viewing at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County this fall.
Thanks to the work of scientists, “Gnatalie the Green Dino” will be able to be adored by young and old alike in California.
Initially just a giant leg bone discovery in Utah in 2007, Gnatalie was reconstructed into a dinosaur that belonged to the Diplodocus family.
While the species of Gnatalie, who weighs around five tons, has yet to be identified, she is made up of bones from several dinosaurs, according to National Geographic.
The name is derived from swarms of gnats which pestered scientists during the expedition process.
Gnatalie’s bones are green; owing to a green mineral infiltration during fossilization, according to the NHM of L.A.
