Yes, in your opinion.... Almost nothing is known of _Bactrosaurus_' skull,

fairly good skull, and associated postcrania.
I didn't think we were talking about well-known in the excessively small
scientific community. I know for sure I was talking about well known to the
general public. Bactrosaurus is much more recognizable name to people like me
who just like dinosaurs. I don't know and couldn't care less what "postcrania"
means because you just pulled it out of thin air. The word is not germane to
this topic, and is only found in your message so you can sound impressive.
This is exactly what I was referring to with my comment about stuffy Ivy League
people. You use big words so people think you know what you're talking about,
but I seriously doubt you do.
