- It lived in the Late Jurassic between 150 and 145 million years ago in the Morrison Formation alongside more famous dinosaurs like Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus.

-It was originally classified as a Nanosaurus but scientists now conclude it is a different animal. When the dinosaur was donated to the museum it was named Nanosaurus, like many other small dinosaurs named since the 1870s.
But the scientists suspected that categorisation was false. The scientists have now formally erased the whole category of Nanosaurus.

-They believe that other small dinosaur specimens from this period are probably also distinct species.

-The discovery should help the scientists understand the diversity of dinosaurs in the Late Jurassic period.

It will become the first new dinosaur to go on display at the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London since 2014. The new species, named Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, is the most complete named specimen of its kind and is now on permanent display at the Natural History Museum.

Damn, so Drinker, Othnielia, and Othnielosaurus are also probably back, then? Not sure if I should feel happy or mildly annoyed!  :*D
