• Another abelisaurid, Niebla, was found in Argentina with more typical theropod jaw than later abelisaurids
• A new small tyrannosauroid from China, Jinbeisaurus, supports that the first giant tyrannosaurs were in North America
• The new tiny compsognathid, Xunmenglong, makes Compsognathus look like a giant
• There’s a push to make the (dubious) dinosaur Suciasaurus rex the official state dinosaur of Washington
