Not that I needed a reason to go back and visit the AMNH for the umpteenth time!

Oh wow, this is very cool news. Looks like I too will need to visit the AMNH again. 122', I can't even imagine.

Neat! The AMNH was the highlight of my one visit to NYC; this is just one more reason to go back.

WoW!!!   :o

Any idea when this exhibit will be ready for the public?  Does January mean they are just getting it or that it will open by then?

This gives me a very good reason to go visit AMNH - hopefully I'm home for the opening!

Almost has to be Dreadnoughtus ?I can only remember two larger sauropods recovered last year from that region....
Authors with varying competence have suggested dinosaurs disappeared because of meteorites...God's will, raids by little green hunters in flying saucers, lack of standing room in Noah's Ark, and palaeoweltschmerz—Glenn Jepsen

It's not Dreadnoughtus, it's this:

I'm going to be in New York for Christmas/New Year's, so I hope this goes up early! I'd be bummed to miss it.

That is AWESOME!  I'm happy to see you can get a photo of the beast in a single frame.  The original description was almost deceiving.  Can't wait to see it in person!
