What they discovered were the remains of a flying monster that would have stood 18 feet high on the ground and had a wingspan that rivaled the length of the two largest pterosaurs currently known: Quetzalcoatlus, found in Texas in the 1970s, and Hatzegopteryx, found in Romania in the 1990s.
The Mongolian pterosaur has not been declared a new species yet, because of its incomplete remains.

That is pretty amazing with Earth only being about 4,000 years old and flat and all.
And while I don’t doubt that there used to be monsters stalking Earth prior to Martians landing here and colonizing Earth and cloning the Martian version of George Washington, et al, this stuff still makes my head hurt.

I’m deducing that during the intervening 70000000 years that the laws of physics that effect aerodynamics, lift and air density have changed significantly, too.

Left will probably say that humans hunted them to extinction for Mongolian BBQ.
Dinos had an army of T Rexes to save them but the best they could muster was small arms.
