Three new dinosaur species. And comments/questions about them.



I think no one of this list do not know which species I'm talking about:)
I have a questions for two of them, and some comments on the third.

1) What has ever been found of Rahona ostromi? I saw a photo of its foot, 
but nothing more. Is the foot the only thing that has been found? If so, 
the foot is as little birdlike as any Dromaeosaurid foot!

2) What more than the skull was found of Shuvuuia? And IS Shuvuuia the 
correct pronuncation of the name?

3) I have been looking at the photo of Scipionyx, and reading about it. 
They say its a Tyrannosaurid. Well, how can you see that? It has got 
three elongated fingers - just like a small theropod, like Dromaeosaurs 
or Oviraptors! And another thing is: The strange objects between the 
ribs, are they remains of soft tissues, or the aminals last meal? Another 
thing is that I read that it was the "best preserved dinosaur ever". 
Well, I remember some Sinosauropteryx being 100% intact, plus fossilized 
"soft tissues" and last meals: that is two things more that Scipionyx 
misses.

Some commercials:

Bah! Why go watch JP, or LW? 
Why spend money on a lot of foolish dinosaur books?
Why cry out the salt tears, because they didn't have the dinosaur stuff 
you wanted?
