In Australia Rare dinosaur bones and teeth found close to a proposed desalination plant that would supply this city with drinking water are affectation a potential problem to the plant's development. The 115 million year aged bones are part of a rare polar dinosaur site, just one of a partially dozen around the world, according to a November 27 article in the age.
While building on the A$3 billion project has not yet been delayed from its 2008 start and Victoria state Water Minister Tim Holding said the plant will go on with on agenda, some are calling for the state to conduct a full ecological effects statement that would consider the dinosaur ruins and existing sheltered species.

A 140-million-year-old pile of bones that had been lynching around Richmond, Ind., since the 1960s is now a completely assembled Allosaurus fragilis pestering the Cincinnati Museum Center's Museum of Natural History and Science. It’s the facility's first dinosaur skeleton assembled from actual bones. Cincinnati’s allosaurus was a meat-eating, birdlike dinosaur by sickle-shaped, serrated teeth. It roams the earth during the Jurassic Period. It was not fully grown-up, however at 25 feet long and 9 feet tall, it almost certainly weighed at least a ton. Fully grown, it would have been more or less doubles that.
It was three years work that begins with take out the last bones from rock. The allosaurus is generally real bones, but not 100 percent some bones were absent, so we borrowed the actual thing from Yale, made cast and then sent them back. But the bones we cast were of the similar size specimen and from the similar quarry, so they're as similar as you can get.
