I doubt very much it will help. With the mountains of evolution evidence already available, this bit of additional evidence - though important in itself - isn't going to do anything to change the views of the willfully ignorant who choose to deny biological evolution.
No, they'll continue on as they always have, with pig-ignorant statements like, 'Why are there still monkeys?' and 'Dogs don't give birth to cats.'
Sad, sorry, stupid people.

They will use one of the following:
1. It's still a dinosaur. Show me a dinosaur giving birth to a human.
2. Scientists just made up the new dinosaur based on bones of smaller T-Rex's.
3. Dinosaurs didn't exist and those bones were put in the ground by God/Satan to make the earth look older than it is.
4. It's just another dinosaur which drowned in the Great Flood.
5. The Paluxy tracks still show that man lived at the same time as the dinosaurs.
6. <insert brain dead creationist argument here>

Those too undoubetedly ate bananas peaceably on a big boat during the flood.
The thing that always bothered me about the fairy tale about Noah's Ark is who was his plumber? I mean, that guy must have been a real genius. If they could prove that guy actually existed, I'd almost be willing to believe! Almost.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Either that or the stench from the ark would have curdled mt Ararat at the end of the year.
