Most difficult for an anglophone monoglot, I assume? Xiongguanlong is presumably easy Âas pie for a Mandarin speaker.Â

Sticking to names based on classical roots, as some sort of level playing field, Iâve always thought Opisthocoelicaudia to be a bit of a mouthful.Â

Good day to all listmembers. Any thoughts? I would personally vote for the Mexican hadrosauroid _Huehuecanauhtlus tiquichensis_, Mexican centrosaurin _Yehuecauhceratops mudei_ and Chinese tyrannosauroid _Xiongguanlong baimoensis_. Tom
