Aerosteon

(Thanks to Elizabeth for calling my attention to this story.)

Discovered by Sereno and his colleagues in 1996, the new dinosaur is named Aerosteon riocoloradensis ("air bones from the Rio Colorado"). "Aerosteon, found in rocks dating to the Cretaceous period about 85 million years old, represents a lineage surviving in isolation in South America. Its closest cousin in North American, Allosaurus, had gone extinct millions of years earlier and was replaced by tyrannosaurs."
