    I Know Paleo Episode 37: Coelacanths

    This group of "lobe-finned fish" is more closely related to us than to other fish. Their fins/flippers eventually evolved into the limbs that all living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and other tetrapods have today. The coolest thing about them may be that they are still around today, with surprisingly few changes since their Devonian ancestors 400 million years ago. The woman who first brought them to the attention of modern scientists, Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, is also a legend in her own right.

Pulaosaurus qinglong, from China’s Tiaojishan Formation, has only the second larynx ever found preserved with a non-avian dinosaur. SourceThe small ornithischian Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae was found in the Morrison Formation of Colorado. Reminding us that it wasn't just huge sauropods and stegosaurs eating plants in the Late Jurassic. SourceA new ornithopod named Obelignathus septimanicus was identified from a stronger jawbone than other Late Cretaceous ornithopods (like Rhabdodon) in what is now southern France. It's name refers to the French comic character Obelix who has superhuman strength (like the "unusually robustly-built" jawbone on Obelignathus). SourceAn Early Cretaceous basal hadrosauroid, Cariocecus bocagei, was named from Portugal. It had a fused upper jaw and cheekbone, possibly letting it chew tougher plants than its relatives.
