I don't have the opportunity to say often this when it comes to fossils, but what a cute discovery.
I like how all we have are theropod tracks roughly the size of a sparrow's, so artists are like "yeah, I'm just gonna draw a sparrow with tiny clawed arms"
I mean, that's probably a reasonable assumption as any about how they might have looked, but still, it's funny.
