Re: Atrociraptor marshalli

[Michael Skrepnick <palaeopaint@dinosaursinart.com>]

"Altrociraptor" is a typo.  "Atrociraptor" is correct, "Atroci" being short
for "atrocious" alluding to a fierce disposition.  "Raptor" of course
referring to old world hip-hop artists in desperate need of a decent
manicure ;0}.
