Hello!
Could you tell me which of these sentences are right?
"It has always been thought that this type of dinosaur existed, but a new study suggests otherwise" or "This type of dinosaur has always been thought to have existed, but a new study suggests otherwise"?
Which one of these is right?
Thank you

I disagree with Matthew. To me, the first sentence is much clearer, and the second is unnatural.

Both sentences can be said - both are grammatically correct.
The second is a bit... Lumpy. "Has always been thought to have" - its not concise enough.

But are they both right? Really?

Each is correct, but the second sentence is clearer and perhaps more native-like (North America).
