The full name of the new species is Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae dinosaur

A labrador-sized dinosaur was wrongly categorised when it was found and is actually a new species, scientists have discovered.
Its new name is Enigmacursor – meaning puzzling runner – and it lived about 150 million years ago, running around the feet of famous giants like the Stegosaurus.
It was originally classified as a Nanosaurus but scientists now conclude it is a different animal.
On Thursday it will become the first new dinosaur to go on display at the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London since 2014.
BBC News went behind the scenes to see the dinosaur before it will be revealed to the public.
The discovery promises to shed light on the evolutionary history that saw early small dinosaurs become very large and “bizarre” animals, according to Professor Paul Barrett, a palaeontologist at the museum.
When we visit, the designer of a special glass display case for the Enigmacursor is making last-minute checks.
The dinosaur’s new home is a balcony in the museum’s impressive Earth Hall. Below it is Steph the Stegosaurus who also lived in the Morrison Formation in the Western United States.
Enigmacursor is tiny by comparison. At 64 cm tall and 180 cm long it is about the height of a labrador, but with much bigger feet and a tail that was “probably longer than the rest of the dinosaur,” says Professor Susanna Maidment.
The Enigmacursor was a small dinosaur that lived alongside some of the biggest known
“It also had a relatively small head, so it was probably not the brightest,” she adds, adding that it was probably a teenager when it died.
With the fossilised remains of its bones in their hands, conservators Lu Allington-Jones and Kieran Miles expertly assemble the skeleton on to a metal frame.
“I don’t want to damage it at this stage before its revealed to everybody,” says Ms Allington-Jones, head of conservation.

“Here you can see the solid dense hips showing you it was a fast-running dinosaur. But the front arms are much smaller and off the ground – perhaps it used them to shovel plants in its mouth with hands,” says Mr Miles.
It was clues in the bones that led scientists at NHM to conclude the creature was a new species.
“When we’re trying to identify if something is a new species, we’re looking for small differences with all of the other closely-related dinosaurs. The leg bones are really important in this one,” says Prof Maidment, holding the right hind limb of the Enigmacursor.
When the dinosaur was donated to the museum it was named Nanosaurus, like many other small dinosaurs named since the 1870s.
But the scientists suspected that categorisation was false.
To find out more, they travelled to the United States with scans of the skeleton and detailed photographs to see the original Nanosaurus that is considered the archtype specimen.
“But it didn’t have any bones. It’s just a rock with some impressions of bone in it. It could be any number of dinosaurs,” Professor Maidment said.

In contrast, the NHM’s specimen was a sophisticated and near-to-complete skeleton with unique features including its leg bones.
Untangling this mystery around the names and categorisation is essential, the palaeontologists say.
“It’s absolutely foundational to our work to understand how many species we actually have. If we’ve got that wrong, everything else falls apart,” says Prof Maidment.
The scientists have now formally erased the whole category of Nanosaurus.
They believe that other small dinosaur specimens from this period are probably also distinct species.
The discovery should help the scientists understand the diversity of dinosaurs in the Late Jurassic period.
Smaller dinosaurs are “very close to the origins of the large groups of dinosaurs that become much more prominent later on,” says Prof Barrett.
“Specimens like this help fill in some of those gaps in our knowledge, showing us how those changes occur gradually over time,” he adds.
Looking at these early creatures helps them identify “the pressures that finally led to the evolution of their more bizarre, gigantic descendants,” says Prof Barrett.

The fossilised remains are the most complete of any in the world for early small dinosaurs
The scientists are excited to have such a rare complete skeleton of a small dinosaur.
Traditionally, big dinosaur bones have been the biggest prize, so there has been less interest in digging out smaller fossils.
“When you’re looking for those very big dinosaurs, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the smaller ones living alongside them. But now I hope people will keep their eyes close to the ground looking for these little ones,” says Prof Barrett.
The findings about Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae are published in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
A Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aide known as “Big Balls” resigned from his role on Monday following the exit of White House adviser Elon Musk.
A White House official with knowledge of the matter confirmed that Edward Coristine, who codes under the “Big Balls” alias, departed, in a statement to The Hill.
Coristine, a 19-year-old high school graduate, was privy to high-level meetings involving DOGE, the Treasury Department, Commerce Department and military operations throughout his tenure at the newly formed digital agency.
He is no longer active on his Google Workspace account with the General Services Administration (GSA), according to reports from WIRED.
Earlier this month, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) joked about where the computer programmer would go amid a public fallout between President Trump and Musk.
“Now that the national divorce is happening … who’s going to get ‘Big Balls’?” Moskowitz asked during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing.
“I’m worried about him. The children always get caught in the middle.”
However, Coristine left no clues about where he’ll land. The 19-year-old was previously enrolled at Northeastern University but told the student newspaper he would not return to study after working with Musk at DOGE.
Prior to Coristine’s role in the federal government, the teenager founded Tesla.Sexy LLC in 2021 and was employed by Musk at Neuralink for several months, as reported by WIRED.
He was reportedly fired from an internship with Path Network for sharing sensitive information with competitors, according to Bloomberg.
Over the last few months, the coder has worked with DOGE to reduce federal spending, address issues with fraud and abuse within government services and gained access to the United States’s payroll systems.
The Verge reached out to Build a Rocket Boy to confirm the layoffs, but they did not respond. In a statement made to IGN, Build A Rocket Boy wrote:
We can confirm that we have had to make the painful decision to notify our hardworking team of some internal changes at Build A Rocket Boy. While we are working to reassign roles for as many of those impacted by these changes as possible, sadly we are initiating a formal consultation process that may result in redundancies. This decision has not been made lightly, and we are committed to handling this process with transparency, fairness, and respect for all employees. We will provide further details to the team over the coming weeks.
MindsEye is a new futuristic, single-player narrative action game. It was billed as the starting point in an epic, interconnected universe by its creator, former Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies, who’s known for his work on the GTA series. Its release earlier this month was plagued by poor reviews, reports of major glitches, and even sponsored streams being cancelled moments before they were set to start.
MindsEyewas supposed to be big. Build A Rocket Boy posted an in-depth roadmap filled with lots of new content updates stretched out over the rest of the year. There were also plans to add multiplayer and open-world elements with additional hopes that the game’s community would step up and provide their own labor. “Hopefully some [players] will create compelling content we can then promote and make that part of our plans to push to other players,” Benzies said in an interview with gameindustry.biz.
Build a Rocket Boy has not confirmed the number of employees affected although IGN reporting suggested that around 100 workers would be impacted out of a total headcount of roughly 500. The company said in its statement it remains committed to delivering on its promises for MindsEye. But that will be exceedingly difficult in a climate where any new game with this kind of scope is fighting against forever games like Fortnite and Roblox.
Seven-time French champions Lyon, owned by American businessman John Textor, have been relegated to the second tier of French football due to the club’s financial problems, the French Professional League announced (LFP) announced on Tuesday.
Lyon confirmed they will appeal the decision.
Textor and Mickael Gerlinger, the club’s director of football, were interviewed by The National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG), the French financial regulators in charge of keeping checks on all professional clubs’ accounts and financial health.
In November, the DNCG provisionally relegated Lyon because of a €175 million ($203.34 million) debt and no clear plan from the club on how to reduce it. A transfer ban was also imposed in the January transfer window.
The club criticized the decision in a statement on Tuesday and said it had worked closely with the DNCG, satisfying all their requests.
“Olympique Lyonnais takes note of the incomprehensible decision handed down by the DNCG this evening and confirms that it will appeal immediately,” the club said.
“With demonstrated funds and sporting success that has earned us a place in European competition two years running, we sincerely fail to understand how an administrative decision could relegate such a great French club.”
The decision comes one day after Premier League side Crystal Palace announced that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson signed “a legally binding contract” to buy Textor’s shares. Textor sold his 43% stake in the London club for $254 million.
“Thanks to the equity contributions from our shareholders and the sale of Crystal Palace, our cash position has improved considerably and we have more than sufficient resources for the 2025/26 season,” the Lyon statement added.
In October, Textor’s Eagle Football Group revealed debts totaling around $574.85 million, raising concerns about the French club’s financial stability. Textor’s proposal to transfer funds from Botafogo, another club he owns in Brazil, to Lyon in order to cover the debts was denied.
However, Lyon bosses were confident on Tuesday that they would be able to satisfactorily answer all questions and provide reasons why they should not be relegated to Ligue 2.
The 59-year-old Textor gave a positive assessment of their financial position prior to the decision being announced.
“You can see from the contributions of our shareholders, we have invested new capital, not only for the DNCG, but also for our UEFA licensing process. Not to mention the good news of the sale of Crystal Palace. Our liquidity situation has improved considerably,” he told reporters earlier on Tuesday.
Two years ago, the DNCG decided to monitor the club’s transfer activities, saying its moves on the market would be limited under “a framework for wage costs and transfer indemnities.”
Lyon won their seven league titles from 2002-08 and reached the Champions League semifinals in 2020.
Lyon narrowly lost to Manchester United in the Europa League quarterfinals and missed out on a cash windfall when they failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League after finishing sixth in Ligue 1.

Love Island USA has something for everyone: steamy romance, jaw-dropping drama and plenty of comedic gold.
While the islanders’ search for love has ensured there’s never a dull moment on the Peacock dating series, their often-questionable uses of the English language have proven to be just as entertaining to viewers.
Perhaps most notably, during an episode of the show’s seventh season earlier this month, Huda Mustafa accused her then-partner Jeremiah Brown of using her as a scapegoat for their relationship woes after going on a date with one of the bombshell arrivals.
“Because of the fact that he had a great date with Iris [Kendall], because of what we’re going through,” she shouted to her fellow contestants, “he’s using her as a f–king escape goat so that he can f–king stay in the game.”
The 24-year-old proceeded to misuse the idiom once again after Jeremiah, 25, chose Iris, 25, over her in a competition, chastising him for moving on from their romance.
A British aircraft carrier has docked in Singapore on a rare Pacific deployment which will see it call on Australia, Japan, Korea and take part in several multinational exercises.
HMS Prince of Wales’ visit comes weeks after two Chinese aircraft carriers concluded simultaneous drills in the region, in an unprecedented move prompting Japan’s protest.
The carrier strike group’s commander James Blackmore says he does not expect conflict with Chinese counterparts, noting the UK and China each “has every right to sail its ships in international sea space”.
“I almost expect they’ll want to come and want to watch what we’re doing… Lots of other parties will wish to witness what we’re doing,” he tells the BBC.
“But I do recognise it will be safe and professional. That’s the way we operate in the maritime.”
Just last week, China had criticised another British warship HMS Spey’s passage through the Taiwan Strait as an act of “intentional provocation” that “undermines peace and stability”.
HMS Spey is one of two British warships – the other being HMS Tamar – permanently on patrol in the Indo-Pacific.
HMS Prince of Wales, which docked in Singapore on Monday, is one of the UK Navy’s largest ships with a flight deck large enough to fit three football pitches.
During its eight-month deployment, HMS Prince of Wales will be supported by ships from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and Spain, among others.
The deployment begins with around 2,500 military personnel and will grow to over 4,500 for some key exercises.
The warship’s presence in the Pacific also comes at a time when Washington has become more unpredictable, which introduces uncertainty to military alliances in the region.
For instance, it is now reviewing its multi-billion dollar submarine deal with the UK and Australia.
Asked how crucial the Aukus pact is to his carrier strike group’s mission, Commodore Blackmore declined to comment, noting that the deal is “being entirely dealt with at a government to government level”.
The group is headed down under next month to participate in an Australia-led exercise which will involve the US and other regional militaries.
It will then sail through the Philippine Sea to Japan, where it will support Japanese authorities in developing the country’s F-35 capability, Commodore Blackmore says.
HMS Prince of Wales’ deployment demonstrates the UK’s commitment to the region, he adds.
“It’s about upholding a rules-based international order and recognising the importance of trade between a free and open Indo-Pacific and the European theatre,” he says.
On its way home in September, HMS Prince of Wales will take part in the annual warfighting exercise of the Five Power Defence Arrangements – referring to defence pacts between Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK established in 1971.
The last time a UK aircraft carrier joined these drills was in 1971.
Social media accounts for the late Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) urged Democrats to vote for his former chief of staff James Walkinshaw in the party’s upcoming special election, in posts on Tuesday.
“Early voting starts TODAY in VA-11! This is our first chance to stand up for our workers, our schools, our democracy, and everything Gerry fought for. Before his passing, Gerry endorsed James Walkinshaw to carry on that legacy because he knew James would never stop fighting for us. Make your plan and vote early and bring a friend. Every vote matters,” the post on Connolly’s Facebook page reads.
The post on X was an abbreviated version of the Facebook post. Both of the posts, which were from Connolly’s campaign accounts, included the same photo of Connolly and Walkinshaw.
The posts come ahead of the special Democratic primary for Connolly’s former district, which will be held Saturday. Walkinshaw is one of several Democrats vying to replace Connolly. The party’s other contenders include Del. Irene Shin (D), state Sen. Stella Pekarsky (D), Fairfax County planning commissioner Candice Bennett, among others.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has set the special general election for the seat for Sept. 9.
The heavily Democratic congressional district includes much of the Northern Virginia suburb of Fairfax County and Fairfax City. Former Vice President Kamala Harris won the district by 34 points in the 2024 presidential election, while Connolly won reelection by more than 33 points.
