Schrödinger's Cat: If a dinosaur walked around St Petersburg

Aleksandr Averianov holds the record for discovering dinosaurs among Russian scientists. However, among the species described by him there are not only saurians, but also extinct mammals, birds and present-day hares. However, dinosaurs are more intriguing. Moreover, now Aleksandr Averianov is describing a species that is completely different from the others. It was called Gusinosaurus. This name was given to it not because of its resemblance to a goose, which would be quite normal for a dinosaur — birds and dinosaurs are relatives after all — but because its bones were found near Lake Gusinoye in Buryatia.
