Researchers have discovered a new species of dinosaur in the Egyptian desert, which

is particularily strange because the Egyptian desert is not a place where dinosaur fossils

are normally found.

That being said, paleontologists are calling this the holy grail of finds, and I'm going

to tell you all about it, here for you on IO.

What is good, this is informoverload where we overload you with information.

Before I get into this video, tell me down there in those comments what your favourite

dinosaur is.

I like Dilophosauraus, you know, the one from Jurassic park that spits acid.

I feel like that would be super useful.

A huge fossil that belonged to a dinosaur the size of a school bus was found in the

Egyptian desert.

Apparently palaeontologists have been looking for a fossil like this for a long time because

it's a dinosaur from the end of the age of dinosaurs in Africa.

Its also incredibly well preserved, it's the most complete dinosaur skeleton that's

ever been discovered in africa.

The animal is being called ManSourASaUrus ShaHinAe, after Mansoura university and mona

shahin, who helped develop the university's paleontology department.

it was a long necked plant eater that lived in what is now the sahara desert.

This is proof that 80 million years ago, when this creature was alive, the sahara desert

was a very different place than it is now.

It was once a lush coastal region, full of vegetation.

See, millions of years ago during the Triassic and Jurassic periods, the worlds continents

were joined together into one supercontinent called pangea.

Later on during the cretatious period, the continents split apart.

The cretatious period was the end of the age of dinosaurs.

Theres a bit of a gap in research from this period in Africa, simply because no complete

dinosaur skeletons have been found.

That might not be because they don't exist, there very well might be more.

But paleontology in Africa has lagged behind paleontology in Europe and America.

Scientists are hoping that this discovery will help determine how dinosaurs evolved

in Africa during a time period where the continents had split.

ManSourASaurus was closely related to the creatures that were found in Europe and asia,

rather than the dinosaurs that lived in south America and southern Africa.

This research has been published in the journal Nature Ecology and evolution.

Kristin Omdahl's Quick Tip: What is Yarn Weight? - Duration: 3:15.

Hi I am Kristin Omdahl and welcome back to my studio!

Today I want to talk to you about yarn weights.

Something I get asked a lot of questions about is why one ball of yarn can have a different

amount of yards (or meters) than a different ball of yarn yet be the same weight.

And I thought the best way to explain it to you was to use a product you are very familiar with.

I was at the grocery store this morning and saw two boxes of spaghetti pasta and I thought

AHA this will really help to explain.

Both of these boxes are one pound (454 gm) of pasta.

You can make one pound (454 gm) of pasta for your family but a fettuccine noodle is much

thicker than an angel hair noodle so you will have more pieces of them.

When you look at the actual pieces side by side, you will see one is so much thicker

than the other.

But yet, each box has the same weight.

If you look inside the boxes, you will see there are far more pieces of angel hair than

there are of the fettuccine.

See how many more pieces of the angel hair there are than pieces of the fettuccine?

Again, the boxes are the same weight and you have the same quantity by volume of food,

but because of the thickness of the pasta, you will have a different amount of pieces

of pasta.

And now let us compare that to yarn.

So here we have a worsted weight yarn that is 4 ounces (113gm) and another worsted weight

yarn that is 4 ounces (113gm) and notice they are even different thicknesses.

This is a yarn that is loosely plied and this is a yarn that is more tightly plied.

We also have another worsted weight yarn and you can see all three of those - even within

the worsted weight - we still have a different texture but all on the thicker side.

Now let us compare to a finer yarn.This is 4 ounces (113gm) and 247 yards (225m) and

this is 4 ounces also (113gm) and 650 yards (597m) of yarn.

This one would be the fettuccine and this one would be the angel hair.

And notice that they are both the same weight but this one is much less yardage because

the yarn is thicker.

And that is what I wanted to explain to you.

I'll post a link in the video description to a blog post I wrote all about this subject,

including a really wonderful chart from the Yarn Council that talks all about yarn weight

standards.

You will see the number system, as well as the name system that is given to yarns.

And this information is available on all your yarn labels as well.

Follow the link and you'll get to see how to compare all of these by the yarn label.

I hope this helps you understand yarn weights.

If you have any other questions about yarn weights, please leave them for me in the comments.

I'm happy to help in any way that I can.
