Dinosaur of the day Oxalaia, a spinosaurid from the Late Cretaceous of northeastern Brazil which was almost as large as Spinosaurus (if it wasn't Spinosaurus itself).
In dinosaur news this week:
- At least 27 iguanodontians from the new genus, Iyuku, were discovered in a South African bonebed
- New chasmosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur Bisticeratops froeseorum was discovered.
- Scientists named a new type of dinosaur egg (which was found full of crystals).
- Scientists found a pathology in a titanosaur egg that could tell us more about dinosaur reproductive behavior.
- A bunch of dinosaur tracks and trackways were found in Alberta, Canada, that may show dinosaurs being sociable.
- Another Tyrannosaurus rex is going on auction.
- Scientists found new dinosaur tracks in Alaska thanks to an earthquake.
- The Badlands Dinosaur Museum found baby dinosaurs this summer.

| 0:41.6 | Hello and welcome to I Know Dino. I'm Garrett. |
| 0:42.3 | And I'm Sabrina. |
| 0:52.5 | And today in our 411th episode, I've got probably the most significant dinosaur discovery from Africa this year. |
| 0:54.1 | That's quite a claim. |
| 0:55.5 | It's pretty cool. |
| 0:56.1 | Yeah. |

| 1:24.4 | O-X-A-L-A-I-A. It comes up from time to time because it's a spinaaur and people like to talk about them. |
| 1:31.4 | But when I looked into it, it's because it refers to an African deity, Oshala. |
