If memory serves me, you may find this specimen mentioned by Greg Paul in
PDOTW somewhere under _Aublysodon_. I recall seeing the specimen back in 1981
or so when I visited Mike Brett-Surman at the Smithsonian. Greg and Andrej
were both there looking it over under a loupe. (That shows how long it has
taken to describe it.)
