Why go through all that trouble?  They seem to be doing just fine naming 
new species right there on the site.  "Gorgosaurus linsteri" (or should it 
be "linstorum" ;-) )?  Then there is the new species of 
Leptoceratops.  Bambiraptor is there.  This museum has quite the range of 
new species.  Lucky them.

In all seriousness, what sticks out on this new pachycephalosaur that 
really makes it a pachycephlosaur?  It is a very cool skull.  The CT scans 
are VERY cool.  Being an amateur, I will leave guessing and figuring to 
those who know more.
