Just got back after a while, so apologies if this has already been pointed 
out.  The removal of this sauropod maxilla from _Yunnanosaurus_ means that 
the strikingly sauropod-like tooth morphology described for _Yunnanosaurus_ 
(such as by Galton in _The Dinosauria_) was incorrect.  Before this 
re-referral, the spatulate teeth of _Yunnano_ were considered to be the most 
distinctive feature of the genus.
