Deutsche Welle has a story on the newly described dinosaur.  They are using 3D printers to create a replica of the skeleton as it is too large to string together through standard techniques.

New titanosaur species have been found in Africa.  Seems there are 4 skeletons of the Titanosaur, so far, have been found in Africa.
