They may have roamed the earth 220 million years ago,
but dinosaurs are still in style. In fact, new dinosaur
species are being discovered all the time. The year
2015 recorded 45 new species of dinosaur. Anyone
from the most seasoned archaeologist to a six-year-old
kid may find this to be news worth sharing during
Dinosaur Month in October.
Archaeologists aren’t the only ones who can find a new
dinosaur. In 2005, a retired nuclear physicist named Bill
Shipp was strolling his property along the Judith River
Formation in Montana when he discovered a giant bone
protruding from the earth. After two years of excavating,
two more years of cleaning the fossils, and many more
years of research, the discovery of a new plant-eating,
horned species of dinosaur was announced this past
May. It was named Judith, due to the location of its
discovery, and has been classified as Spiclypeus (meaning
“spiked shield”) shipporum, after its discoverer, Bill Shipp.
April of 2016 brought the announcement of another new
dinosaur excavated in Argentina. This was a titanosaur,
one of the largest dinosaurs to ever roam the earth. Of
the 60 known titanosaur species, this is only the fourth
discovered with its skull. Most titanosaurs have such
long necks that the skull ends up so far from the body
upon death that the skull is lost, especially after millions
of years of waiting to be found.
What should you do if you find a dinosaur fossil? In
America, if it’s found on your property, it belongs to you.
You can name it, mount it on your wall, or give it to a
museum. Fossilized remains may be worth millions.
Some discoverers choose to auction their fossils off to
the highest bidders. But, like any business during an
economic downturn, dinosaur auctions don’t bring in the
big bucks like they used to. Maybe it’s best to give your
fossil to your dog as a dino-sized snack.

In astrology, those born between October 1st
and 22nd balance the scales of Libra. Libras
seek equality, justice, and harmony. Eager to
cooperate, Libras are charming diplomats who
seek compromise and good will. Those born
between October 23rd and 31st are Scorpios.
Scorpios are passionate and assertive leaders
who value honesty and fairness above all, but
betray a Scorpio and suffer the scorpion sting.
Befriend a Scorpio and you will have not just a
friend for life, but an advocate and confidant.
