The minerals in the riverbed where Gnatalie's fossils were found is what gives the dinosaur its green color, the only green-boned dinosaur on display in the world.
"Gnatalie was named for the biting gnats that are in this area of the Utah Badlands. The excavation teams go out for months at a time in the summer, and it's very hot and very filled with biting insects," Weisbart said. From 2007, the bones have gone through a lengthy, painstaking excavation as featured in the September issue of National Geographic.
