AFA bone ornamentation goes, yes.  Their skull bones tend to be
relateively non-bumpy.  But living coelurosaurs seem to go freaky in the
head region, nonetheless.  There is nothing like a randy male galliform
in full show.  And isn't it interesting that _T. rex_ (another
coelurosaur) had extremely rugose nasal bones.  For what purpose?
