Ornitholestes



I read recently that it has been discovered that _Ornitholestes_ did not in fact possess a horn/ crest/ protuberance on its snout. How accepted is this view? Does this mean that all the restorations of horned _Ornitholestes_ erroneous? And what about _Proceratosaurus_? Is it still considered a close relative of _Ornitholestes_, and did it have a horn as well?

(Of course, we can always say that the holotype of _Ornitholestes_ was a female and thus would not have a horn, while the males would have horns, but then...)
