Though, having said that the identity of this newly named genus is not entirely clear. It may be a dinosaur or fall just the other side of this line in the sand. This is not a major surprise or problem – there's not much of the animal preserved and so providing such an exact ID is naturally difficult. However, it's not actually much of a problem and either way, as the features of this animal show it is clearly close to dinosaur origins and pushing back the date of the earliest known dinosaurs.
