Sauropod. Not Cerepod.

Call me old fashioned but when people say 'sauropod' I immediately ask 'How big?"
Ergo, this article disappoints (despite it being an awesome discovery regardless of size).

Given the season - was there a fossillised red hat discovered along side it? ( geomagnetic polar change being factored in as it was found in the South Pole )
