Newly discovered / described fossil species 2019

Sounds good. On a different note, I made this video which lists every non-avian dinosaur described in 2018:

I already noted some of them on this thread but certainly not all of them. Also I think this is pretty obvious but I don't own any of the pictures or music in the video and all rights go to the respective owners.

That art makes it look adorable! How much evidence is there that it looked anything like that?

A fair amount. The holotype is of a juvenile specimen that was all and all relatively complete. The feathers can be inferred as we know related species had them.

Before there was sparrows there was Eofringillirostrum boudreauxi. At 52 million years old, this new species is the oldest known seed-eating perching bird. It lived in what is now Wyoming, USA.

Indeed. As a dinosaur fanatic I'm use to hard to hard to pronounce names...but this, this is on a whole new level

@birdsandbats I did some looking around on the internet and according to a tweet by Mark Witton (he's a famous British vertebrate palaeontologist, author, and palaeoartist) the new species's name is pronounced "Mm-nya-ma-wah-mm-too-ka mm-oh-yo-wa-mm-key-ah."

Just said it now. I think I just cast some sort of incantation or spell.

New species of 96.4-million-year tyrannosauroid from Utah, U.S.A: Moros intrepidus. (Named based of a juvenile specimen that wasn't fully grown.) Moros represents the earliest known tyrannosauroid from the Cretaceous of North America by a margin of about 15 million years. Moros was a small-bodied, cursorial tyrannosauroid with an estimated weight of about 78 kg (172 lb). Moros intrepidus means "harbinger of doom."
