poorly known Judith River coelurosaurs



I was just reading Russell 1969, and at the end is an appendix that lists
specimens found in the Judith River Formation that could not be identified
at that time down to family level.  Although some have been described since
(Ricardoestesia, Saurornitholestes, Macrophalangia as a synonym of
Chirostenotes), others may not have been.  Does anyone know the true
identity of any of the following specimens?  They could end up being useful
peices of the above genera, or new genera.
NMC 12355 frontal different from Saurornitholestes
NMC 12391 maxilla
NMC 12413, NMC 12415, UA 5286 presacral vertebrae with pleurocoels and
centra higher than long
NMC 12414 presacral vertebra with centrum longer than high and more
cancellous internal structure
NMC 12438, NMC 12439 sacra with five vertebrae
NMC 12435 humerus
NMC 12367, NMC 12437 humeri smaller than NMC 12435 and with a more medially
expanded head
NMC 12348 ischium with straight shaft and slightly expanded distal end
NMC 12436 tibia
NMC 1149 fragmentary pes
Thanks in advance
