Or perhaps the conference will also unveil Perditaraptor, found with some of
her 101 offspring clambering on her?

> Bambiraptor??  Hmmm....no I haven't heard of it.  The only think I can
think of is the feathered dino that at the time of the National Geographic
printing (and I assumed until now) was still unnamed.  I believe it came
from the Gobi and the article referred to it as "the unnamed raptor" or
something bland like that.  I think Norell and the AMNH team excavated it a
few years back, or maybe I just heard that somewhere.
