Life restoration of Miragaia.

... that the stegosaurid Miragaia had more neck vertebrae than almost all of the sauropod dinosaurs, known for their long necks?
... that the Jurassic crocodile relative Phyllodontosuchus had two types of teeth; one type resembled those of some herbivorous dinosaurs, indicating it may not have been a strict carnivore?
... that based on its skull anatomy, the small Early Jurassic crocodile relative Dibothrosuchus (reconstruction pictured) probably had a keen sense of hearing and was vocal like modern crocodiles?
... that the discovery of feather-like structures on the primitive dinosaur Tianyulong raises the possibility that ancestral dinosaurs were feathered?
... that although its fossils were first discovered in 1946, the pliosaurid genus Gallardosaurus was not declared a valid taxon until 2009?
