Thanks for the fascinating read! It seems like the specific taxonomy is still far from certain and needs validation, by the study authors’ own admission, but you’re absolutely correct that it wasn’t the bones of multiple species! I could swear there was another one of those from Germany that was a mishmash. Do you remember what that one was? I’m just a geochemist, not a palaeontologist. But anyway, I look forward to seeing validation studies by others of the 2015 findings! It would be great to see all of that hard work pay off! Do you know of any? I wasn’t able to find any from a cursory glance around the internet.
