  I was referring to _S. campi_ (the type species).  The anecdote I 
related can be found in _Predatory Dinosaurs of the World_, G.S. Paul, 
1988.  Unfortunately I didn't bring it to school with me, but as Paul 
appears periodically on this list, maybe you could ask him?  I would be 
interested in hearing what he has to say.  I will check _The Dinosauria_ 
again for the taxonomic citation.
