"It looks to be a mean character," commented paleontologist Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago, who was not part of the research team. "I can't wait to see if they get any more of the skeleton."This fits in quite nicely between the dinosaur groups, Sereno said, even though its face is unlike anything that would have been expected in these early dinosaurs, which tended to have more elongated snouts. This find shows there is still much to be learned about the early evolution of dinosaurs. "The continued exploration of even well-studied regions like the American Southwest will still yield remarkable new fossil finds," Sues said.
