Guemesia ochoai, a newly described genus of abelisaurid from Argentina

[Faelrin]

Some key things, first is that the only remains consist of a mostly complete brain case. It's pretty small as far as abelisaurids go, and the first abelisaurid from northwestern Argentina to be published on, if I understand the abstract correctly.

Paper is here, seems to be paywalled:

Might not be the most exciting find, but an important one regardless, as it might open the doors to more research, and findings in the area over time.

This was named in February 2022, have more remains of it been found?

@Gothmog the Baryonyx Big oof on my part there. I just caught wind of it now though. Thanks for pointing that out though.

[Halichoeres]

Well, it was news to me, so thanks!

Also, if the only known remains are a braincase, that probably makes it a strong candidate for Mattel's next wave of action figures.

I was wondering if there were any abelisaurs with no arms at all. Guemesia might be a candidate for the smallest?
