<<Did you take the photo from the mounted skeleton [of 
_Alxasaurus]?  Much of that is (how to put this politely) 
conjecture.>>

Quite right, especially the hands.  In the type material it is quite clear 
that all three fingers are about the same length whereas in the 
mount, digit I is shortened to (how to put this politely) make it look 
more theropodan.  Another gripe I have is that the head 
(_Erlikosaurus'_, mind you) is too big, also making it look more 
theropodan than it is.
