Well, they can't spell, there's capital letters on all the specific names,
and isn't one of those 'T-rexes' (first on the left in the fifth row)
actually a _Carnotaurus_? I know for a fact that one of the
'Montanoceratops' pictures is from an old dinosaur book I have at home,
where it's identified as _Monoclonius_. And look, if you enlarge the
picture, you can still see the original caption saying so :-D!
