It's the creation of a new species based on the re-examination of specimens formerly assigned to T. tanneri. If only Adam could've got this kind of hype when he (co-)named Meyerasaurus. ;) Still, it's cool stuff.

Was it named after James Gurney, the creator of Dinotopia? Oops, didn't see that part in the article ::)
