Thanks for this. I am a bit unclear, though, as to the availability of this paper as the site allows you to read but not to download a copy. Will it be permanently available or is this a time-limited access?

The response has been pretty incredible and extremely positive (just check
the thousands of amazing pieces of artwork people have been posting
continuously since the paper came out). And I was delighted to see a
dinosaur trend on Twitter - as opposed to the usual mix of politicians and
celebrities.
It was also a great moment for African paleontology, and I hope that the
attention this discovery has generated is going to allow me to fully
convince senior officials in Morocco to start building a national museum of
natural history. So far, I am cautiously optimistic. Shining light on the
continent's incredible ancient heritage, and doing some infrastructure and
capacity building there was always a major goal of all my projects in
Morocco.
