Are we any closer to a name  yet? And is there anyplace to watch the Attenborough special?

I am not sure, but i do know that Dinosaurs can go for years without a scientific name being assigned to them.    Remember Anzu?   There was a skeleton of that dinosaur on display at the Carnegie Museum for awhile without a Name. (it was just referred to as a North american Oviraptor) It was not until 2014 that a name was finally assigned to it

I was lucky to see this magnificent mount the last day on my trip to New York  :))
I have to admit that, despite being huge, I was expecting it to be a little bit bigger, but it was great anyway. :)
I just wish the photos turn out better so I could post some ::)

All the pictures I've seen make it look like it the display area doesn't really complement the specimen. For example, the Berlin brachiosaur has a nice, soaring atrium to stretch out in, but the AMNH titanosaur is cramped into a relatively small room, and is actually bending its neck down to fit its head out the door. They could certainly have highlighted it better.
