Why aren't they calling this a Dinosaur?

About the size of a small cat, the animal has four legs and a long tail. It's not a direct ancestor of monkeys and humans, but it provides a good indication of what such an ancestor may have looked like, researchers said at a news conference.

Is that an oxymoron?

Because it's not a dinosaur. The primate fossil record is very skimpy through that period, so anything new is interesting.

Of course their main purpose is to run up the ratings for their TV program, but real paleontologists may be able to do something with it.

Dinosaurs, Dragons and Demons are all the same creature.

Because this is sciences "missing link".
