Re: Kritosaurus australis (was Re: Carnotaurus)

["Dino Rampage" <dino_rampage@hotmail.com>]

I just wondered whether _K. navajovius_ & _K. australis_ are similar enough 
to warrant placing them in the same genus. (Yup, it's the same ol' genus 
debate thing again...) But _K. navajovius_ is a nomen dubium right? And 
while we're at it, what happened to _Naashoibitosaurus_ & _Anasazisaurus_?

According to Bonaparte & Rougier, it was "of Late Cretaceous age, probably 
restricted to the Campanian - Maastrichtian".

Also, why do you place "Kritosaurus" in quotes?  Do you doubt it being of 
that genus?

I have the paper for Bonaparte & Rougier's "The Late Cretaceous Fauna of Los 
Alamitos, Patagonia, Argentina, VII, The Hadrosaurs".  However, it does not 
state what  year it was published.  Could somoene post onlist the complete 
citation?
