Can anyone tell me how much of the specimen of Manospondylus (s.i.c. ??) gigas was eventually collected? Is it worthy of a paper or are we just conveniently ignoring it (for obvious reasons)? Is the binomial Tyrannosaurus rex that well established in the literature and culture that it is unmovable? I really don't want to start anything here (Massospondylus ??? Yikes!!). I can only imagine the rush to print if we knew this beast by that name only to discover that T. rex had priority. I don't really think we would have ignored this specimen if fortunes had been reversed. It's more of an interest culturally than anything else. |
