I'm surprised the artist didn't give it more noticeably webbed or partially webbed feet, in that reconstruction.

Among the discoveries, the team note that the very front part of the animal’s snout has more teeth than any other dinosaur.


More teeth than any other known dinosaur, IIRC didn't compsognathus previously hold the title of most teeth?

I believe that would be the Ornithomimid, Pelecanimimus with 220 teeth.

Notice the "very front part of the snout". If it was the most teeth of any Dinosaur and Hadrosaurid would probably win.

I'd guess it refers exclusively to premaxillary teeth.

It does, most theropods have only four premaxillary teeth, Pelecanimimus and spinosaurids have six or seven, while Halszkaraptor has a whopping eleven of them.

I forgot about Pelecanimimus, I read somewhere both Compsognathus and Pelecanimimus had the most teeth.
