Or it could be even more primitive, down near _Hypsilophodon_ itself.

Personally, I think it would be really cool if _Muttaburrasaurus_ turned out 
to be closely related to _Atlascopcosaurus_ and _Qantassaurus_, as is 
apparently suggested by some features of the teeth.

Then again, we all well know that that which is would be really cool and that 
which is correct are by no means the same thing...
