Re: Bicentenaria argentina, new Argentine theropod displayed

As so often, that is a matter of definition. The beginning of the  
Argentinean war of independence was the deposement of the Spanish viceroy,  
Hidalgo de Cisneros, in May of 1810. Which makes it quite a good candidate  
for the de facto beginning of independence.
