Incredible new dinosaur
It's got to be seen to be believed. The paper is behind a paywall but the Guardian has the press release, complete with a fantastic artist's reconstruction (which I've shamelessly nabbed from wikipedia, just as the Guardian did).
it's okay to say "I don't know"

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn

Re: Incredible new dinosaur
Don't be silly those are the spears that killed it thrown by the cavemen it lived with, circa 10,000 BC, while protecting their mammoth herds.
The pterodactyls flew too high to hit.
Whatever happened to Dave Horne?
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Dave Hone.
He went extinct. Oh, no, wait: he started doing the fantastic Terrible Lizards podcast. Full of brilliant did-you-know facts for down the pub, which would be ideal if only pubs hadn't gone extinct.

What the hell kind of niche did that thing evolve to fit in? Did the cretaceous have Drag Race?

Basically a chicken but with a big fancy tail, in other words the peacock niche.
