A 150 million year old dinosaur skeleton is displayed at the Natural History Museum’s new welcome center currently under construction on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 in Los Angeles . It’s newest resident is big, green, and 150 million years old, the 75-foot-long green dinosaur named Gnatalie which will be available for public viewing in the fall at the museum.
While fossils are typically brown from silica or black from iron minerals, green is rare because celadonite forms in volcanic or hydrothermal conditions that typically destroy buried bones. The celadonite entered the fossils when volcanic activity around 50 million to 80 million years ago made it hot enough to replace a previous mineral.
When he glimpsed the bones while they were still being cleaned, he said they were “not like anything else that I’ve ever seen.” John Whitlock, who teaches at Mount Aloysius College, a private Catholic college in Cresson, Pennsylvania, and researches sauropods, said it was exciting to have such a complete skeleton to help fill in the blanks for specimens that are less complete.
