Holy crap! That is way cool! I love this! Only a few days into 2013, and we get a freaking awesome story. This is so cool!

Took them long enough. I remember mentions of "Hypsilophodon?" from Antarctica showing up as far back as the 1990s, so it's taken about 20 years to get around to naming it.

Whereas Cryolophosaurus was discovered later and got published almost immediately. I guess publication is just as subject to popularity after all.

(assuming, of course, that Trinisaura and the "Antarctic Hypsilophodon" are the same thing)

My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Sweet.
