Understandably, undescribed is undescribed, but to my knowledge, there are 
no small dinosaurs at all from the North Horn. About the only thing small to 
get preserved (frustratingly enough) are large lizards (complete and 
sometimes articulated!!!). There's tyrannosaurs, hadrosaurs, ceratopsids, 
and teeth from some coelurosaur, along with a dromeosaur ungual, and that's 
really about it (in terms of dinosaurs). The depositional environment over 
most of the NH, as far as its known, doesn't seem to be too condusive to 
preservation of small animals (except in localized conditions). So, I'm not 
holding my breath for anything small from the North Horn...
