They don't even know what they have for bones, but yet they can say that it's a new "Species".
I wonder the same thing, but then I think that part of it is the shape of the bones being radically different at key locations, not just that the bones are longer or shorter, but otherwise shaped the same.

What really gets me is when they get a couple of bones or parts of bones and build an entire creature from that.
