Yeah, so I think it's basically a big wader.

It's a poor analogy, but it's a very weird giant stork.

Oh, got it.

Or heron.

Was giant.

Yeah.

So potentially bigger than T-Rex.

Linearly, not in mass.

Again, really quite narrow chest versus that T-Rex barrel, but potentially 15 meters long.

So bigger than any T-Rex we found, at least in terms of length.

Yeah.

So this really quite long head with a kind of wavy jawline, like animals have, most carnivores have straight jaws.

This one has a kind of somewhat wiggly jawline.

It really narrows at the front and then opens up again into like a little, it's called a rosette.

So you've got like a little semicircle and then a dip and then the jaws go back and then the teeth line waves up and down.

These really conical teeth, which doesn't sound very exciting, but it makes them different to every other carnivorous dinosaur.

Like no other thing has a conical tooth, which is a classic fish thing, or at least biting hold of something that wriggles.

The nostrils are not at the tip of the nose.

They're pushed back at least somewhat.

It has a bunch of crests on the head.
