    New York unveils skeleton cast of largest dinosaur-ever

    The skeleton cast of a titanosaur is seen during a media preview at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The new, 122-foot (37-meter) dinosaur skeleton, unveiled on Friday, is too long to fit in the fossil hall and so its neck and head will poke out toward the elevator banks, offering a surprise greeting when the lift doors open.
