It's important to note that the referred specimen may not be the same as the 
holotype, which is based on teeth, IIRC.

I'm sure others will comment on this but that name is not official published 
and has only appeared in Chure's 2001 thesis.

Are there really all that many sinraptorids?


I'm curious.  Does Metriacanthosauridae (implied PAUL 1988) have priority 
over Sinraptoridae (CURRIE et ZHAO 1994)?  Or are implications not 
considered to have priority to non-implications?
