The world's newest dinosaur finally has a name, more than a decade after it was discovered in the Queensland outback.


It's a gigantic discovery, 125 million years in the making.

David Elliott is a field palaeontologist and was mustering sheep in western Queensland when he stumbled across some small bones in 2005.

He says they turned out to be something much bigger.
