What is changing or disputed
What remains most specific is the animal’s exact classification and appearance, which were derived from the fossils and CT scanning; further study could refine those details.

Neutral1
The neutral coverage reports a new species of ancient squid-like animal discovered in Wyoming and named Wyoteuthis linsterorum. It identifies the fossils as roughly 160 million years old and places them in an ancient belemnite group. The analysis highlights the creature’s barrel-shaped rostrum and says CT scanning was used to examine the fossils without damage. It also notes that two specimens were collected over decades, with the second donated by Cliff Linster before his passing.

“Peculiar” new species of Jurassic squid found in Wyoming
Quick source take
Researchers have announced the discovery of a new species of ancient squid-like animal named Wyoteuthis linsterorum in Wyoming, dating back roughly 160 million years. Described as the chunkiest belemnite ever found, the specimens feature an unusually barrel-shaped rostrum measuring about ten centimetres long and up to six centimetres wide. The international team utilized computed tomography scanning to examine the fossils without causing damage, revealing characteristics of an ancient belemnite group. Two specimens were collected over decades, with the second donated by fossil collector Cliff Linster before his passing.
