Agreed.  How many named Mesozoic theropods are known from more relatively
complete individuals?
Coelophysis bauri
Coelophysis rhodesiensis
Allosaurus fragilis
Gorgosaurus libratus
Tarbosaurus bataar
Confuciusornis sanctus
Any more?  I mean, there are a lot of bits from Troodon, Saurornitholestes,
Ichthyornis, etc., but they hardly qualify as good specimens.
