This brings up a very fond memory for me. It was at the Dinosaur Systimatic 
Symposium at the 
Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. Alan Charig showed a few slides of the quarry, 
then he showed the 
premaxilla, maxilla and dentary, and then said, 'Now, you tell me what it is'. 
There were autoble 
(sic) gasps, rummblings running from phytosaur, theropod, rauisuchian. No one 
new what it really 
looked like.

I'll never forget that.
