A few dino-dilemmas

["Jordan Mallon" <j_mallon@hotmail.com>]

Well, it's about time I get cracking on my page, fixing whatever scientific 
errors I can.  But in doing so, I've come across a few questions:

1.  In his PDW, Gregory Paul suggests that his "ornitholestians" show a high 
degree of heterodonty- something that Mr. Marjanovic pointed out is common 
to compsognathids and tyrannosaurs (although not to the same extent, I 
believe).  Out of curiosity, what would this "adaption to carnivory" 
suggest?

2.  Are there any fossil birds known from the Nemegt?  (i.e. contemporaneous 
with _Tarbosaurus_ and _Saurolophus_).  If so, where might I be able to find 
a reconstruction of one?

3.  _Shunosaurus_: is it "Shu lizard" or "Shuo lizard"?  I've seen different 
derivations.

4.  Does anyone know where I might be able to find any skeletal 
reconstructions of either a juvenile _Anatotitan_ or juvenile 
_Edmontosaurus_?

As always, thanks for the help.
