Nigersaurus - the Media response

Last week's PLoS ONE article Structural Extremes in a Cretaceous Dinosaur has received a huge and positive response by the news media and bloggers. The story was featured on the radio, on NPR's Morning Edition ('Mesozoic Cow' Rises from the Sahara Desert) and on television, on ABC's Good Morning America.

As of this writing, Google has registered 583 news reports and 1,855 blog posts about Nigersaurus (only three of which, unfortunately, were trackbacked to the article itself). Under the fold is a choice collection of links to some of the most interesting reports and blog posts, but this should not stop you from adding your ratings, discussions and annotations to the article itself.
