Is there any mention of material, or why it would be assigned to a dubious
tooth taxon? (Of course, it wasn't considered as such in 1984, I guess.)

Shouldn't these be emended to _C._ willisobrieni and _E._ philtippetti,
since they're honoring individuals? Again, any mention of material? I have
an "_Elaphrosaurus_ sp." from Colorado listed on my website -- is that the
same as _E._ philtippetti/philtippettorum?

Any material mentioned for these?
