Dinosaur of the day Ornithopsis, a titanosaur found way back in the 1830s which was named for its bone's similarity to the lightweight structure of a bird's skeleton.

In dinosaur news this week:

• We not yet have found the earliest dinosaur fossils, but they may be in the Amazon and areas by the equator in South America and Africa
• Dinosaurs may have originated in South America, and then moved simultaneously to the east and north
• There’s a new very early theropod dinosaur, Anteavis crurilongus
• A nearly complete skeleton from a Triassic sauropodomorph, Huayracursor jaguensis
