Saw the premaxillary "canine" in a specimen of _Psittacosaurus cf.
meileiyingensis_ on sale at a local rocks and gems show last year. Beautiful
specimen from China, better than holotype of that species. Sold to a private
collector and now lost to science, at least until said collector passes on and
relatives sell off specimen for cash. Dealer told me collector does not want
his/her identity known, so I don't know who he/she is. Tracy Ford made
videotape of specimen and good sketch.
