What are some of the most interesting or maybe even counterintuitive ways that we have been able to say, no, I'm pretty sure this looked this way, just by looking at the bones alone?

So I'm looking at, just to be clear, sort of what looks like two fingers of a T-Rex hand that have very pointy claws on the end of them.

Okay, so this tiny little bone, this bone that's actually the size of my pinky, is like an ancestral third finger, like a tailbone of a third finger that they have.

Fascinating.

Okay.

So finding bones, finding more bones to complete out a skeleton can really tell us, like, oh, we got this wrong, we got this wrong, et cetera.

But you also had an article that you wrote that was also about tiny arms that was a little different that I loved.

Can you tell me a little bit about Alvarezsaurus?

Am I saying that right?

Yes.

Yeah, show me a picture of Alvirusaur, please.

So I'm looking at this very small, very cute creature that has very long legs.

It has a really long neck.

And then it just has these rinky-dink little arms coming off of it that it's holding together in a little...

So what is its one claw for?

Are there ideas?

Do people have theories?

Okay, I love a theory.

So theory one is they were anteaters, just like poking their fingies in there.

What are the other theories for what these tiny claws could be for?
