Finding complete fossilized skeletons is quite rare, and the article doesn't give much detail about what they did exactly find. I hope they didn't just find a tooth and then conjecture the rest out of thin air. Sometimes they seem to do that. There was an article last year in which they found a few footprints of a previously unknown species -- from that, they knew when it lived, how tall it was, what it weighed, what it ate, knew that it swam as well as walked, how fast it ran, and Lord knows what else.
