Re: Bambiraptor = Saurornitholestes?

As I recall, the specimen on display at Oxford is a cast of the Bambiraptor holotype--why it's referred to Velociraptor at that museum, I don't know.

At the SVPCA, I noticed that the Oxford University Natural History
Museum has a skeletal mount of a small dromie labelled as
_Velociraptor feinbergi_ -- not a combination I'd seen before.
There's a small amount of information on the museum's site at
        http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/velocira.htm
but nothing that explains the referral.

Does anyone know the story on this?
