Actually, Calvinosaurus was the name Calvin gave to a preposterously large
theropod (which could eat an `Ultrasaur' in a single bite! ), a jawbone
fragment (actually a piece of gravel) of which he claimed to have found in
his front yard. I don't think the litter critter was actually named, although
Calvin did want to submit the story to _National Geographic_.
