Saltasaurus
This fellow was discovered at Salta, Argentina in 1980.  The place name was used to create the species name, "Salta Lizard."  The fossils really surprised the scientists.  Saltasaurus had scales!  Up until then, only the Anklylosaurs were known to have such armor.  But this guy apparently did not know any better, as he was a late-comer, who lived only 73 million years ago.  The replica is 11.5" long.
