For #2 - My view on _Nanotyrannus_ is that it is a very juvenile
tyrannosaur.  (For that matter, some large _T. rex_ specimens may have
not been fully grown - adults though).

Subject: A couple of questions

Yes, I'm finally back with a bunch of more questions to ask...

1) What's the difference between Citipati osmolskae & Oviraptor 
philoceratops? Seriously, to me they both look identical. And while
we're at 
that, in what way does Khaan differ from Ingenia? Does anybody know what

Nomingia's head looked like? And is Rinchenia mongoliensis still valid
or is 
it now Oviraptor mongoliensis??

2) Just asking around here, how many of you think that Nanotyrannus is a

valid taxon??? I just don't know whether I should consider it a full
species 
or just a juvenile Tyrannosaurus.
