(What the Klobiodon Rochei might have looked like by Mark Witton)
The dinosaur's full name is Klobiodon rochei, with the first part of the name meaning "Cage Tooth" and the second referencing Nick.
Nick posted about the naming on Twitter, having shown his gratitude to the student by sending him some signed prints and a design page for IDW Swoop.

But yeah, send that back, mate. Cheers https://t.co/CBFw9ritOx

It's a pterosaur. (A rhamphorynchid, to be precise: it has a tail).
I am astounded that this happened in 2018. If it has wings, it is not a dinosaur.

Oh and Dimetrodon, before anybody says it, is a synapsid and therefore closer to mammals than dinosaurs.
