I know this was the word on M., but has its close
relationship with Carnotaurus been *established* yet? 
Is it even definitely an abelisaurid?  Last I recall,
from the paper in (um, NATURE?), it was not.  But I
may (dramatic music) be mistaken.  

Of course, if it *is* closely related to C., that's a
fun geological fact, innit?

So: Any news?

Thanks,
