I don't know if it was specifically _T. neglectus_, but a freshly prepared, 
fairly complete Thescelosaurus skeleton, including skull, was displayed 
at the Tucson show a couple years ago by one of the companies making 
air-abrasive machines (I think it was S. S. White).  I'm not sure if 
they owned the specimen, but I seem to remember talk of someone 
being in the process of describing it.  I myself have a 
Thescelosaurus tibia and one vertebra from South Dakota, Hell 
Creek Fm.  They looked identical in size and shape to the corresponding 
bones on the Tuscon specimen, which I believe was also from the Hell 
Creek Fm.
