Tracy and I had occasion to compare figures of the pubes of _Unquillosaurus_
and _Unenlagia_ just the other day, and I happened to notice that the scale
bars for the figures indicated that the pubes of the two dinos were almost
identical in size (about 45-50 cm long or thereabouts). I hadn't really paid
much attention to the _Unquillosaurus_ material before, and it was just a bit
startling to realize that _U._ wasn't a particularly large theropod. I'd
thought it was _Allosaurus_-size.
