It seems like every week, someone's discovered another new dinosaur.

This week's revelation: the Mojoceratops, a hippo-sized creature with a fancy set of heart-shaped headgear that roamed Southern Alberta, seventy-five million years ago.

Of course, that's exciting. Kind of. But there's an even more exciting new kind of dinosaur discovery going on nowadays. Instead of just finding dinosaur fossils, some people are creating them.

Last month, Brian Boland brought the Vermontasaurus to life. Although the dino may already be facing extinction.
