"An overwhelming majority of all dinosaurs — between 80 to 90 percent — are known by researchers on the basis of just one partial skeleton; sometimes just a few mere bones that have been flattened, over the ages, like pancakes."

This was in an article about the same find - amazing to find out so much from so little, don't you think?
