Meet LA's Gnewest Star: Gnatalie the Green Dino

NHM Commons—the Museum’s new wing and community hub—will welcome visitors this fall with, among other wonders, the newest and biggest fossil Angeleno: Gnatalie.

Gnatalie (pronounced “nat-ah-lee”), affectionately nicknamed for the stinging gnats that pestered its excavators during the digs, is the most complete sauropod skeletal mount on the West Coast—and the only green-colored fossil specimen on the planet. Gnatalie’s unusual bone coloring is due to infilling by the green mineral celadonite during the fossilization process.
