The coolest moment of my life was when my favorite dinosaur, the coelacanth, was discovered to still be alive. I was obsessed with this little known fish (for kids, no idea if it was better known among adults) and was super proud to be able to spell it, and then they found one!
And I told you that story because I so rarely get to, because nobody asks adults about their favorite dinosaur.
I just looked it up, and they were rediscovered in 1938, too. I’m absolutely not in my late eighties, so I guess this is just a good example of how weirdly wrong our early memories can be (at least mine are).
Ok so first of all you were right it was a big deal when Coelacanth was rediscovered. Don’t give up so easy, that person is just saying it was a fish not a dinosaur.

You were alive in the 1930s?
That’s… absolutely not a dinosaur.
My favourite dinosaur is the cockatoo
