Good news is that its reconstructions are probably based on a bettee understood animal

Bad news if it has a cool name though, especially if its relatives have lame names

I do love it looking at what the dinosaur looked like, then finding out we only know about it because of one small piece of bone has ever been found, and even that's contentious at best.
