So then distanceraptors are yet to be discoverd?

No, much like how brontosaurus was later discovered to be a mix of bones from various individuals, “Distanceraptor” is actually a conflation of multiple Displacemosaurids.

Sorry to break these news to you but in 2015 they discovered that Brontosaurus actually existed, so the “it was a mix of other species bones” is wrong, as much as a fun fact it was 😟

Thanks for the fascinating read! It seems like it’s still far from certain, by the study authors’ own admission, but I look forward to seeing validation studies by others! Do you know of any? I wasn’t able to find any from a cursory glance around the internet.
