Re: Saltriosaur

    I suspect that once it is formally described and officially named, they 
will call it Saltriosaurus.  I think they are probably trying to avoid 
having such a formal name hanging in limbo (and becoming a nomen nudum).  
Referring to it by a "common name" in the meantime makes a lot of sense.
