<??? Never read of that one...>

  The claws and associated intermediate phalanges
originally refered to *Alectrosaurus olseni* from the
Chinese Iren Dabasu Formation, roughly equivalent to
the Djadokhta Formation. Glut's second dino dictionary
featured these bones under the *Alectroaurus* entry.


There is even more material of an Iren Dabasu therizinosaur. There's a small
claw (At the AMNH), not associated with the type material of Alectrosaurus
that I showed to Phil Currie when the SVP was in New York (It was in NY at
some time wasn't it? I know I showed him the claw) anyway, he said that he
had found similar claws and material from the Iren Dabasu. Hopefully someday
it'll get published.
