RE: Notheonychus?

["Thomas R. Holtz, Jr." <tholtz@geol.umd.edu>]

Let it be known to all and sundry:

The taxon in question is indeed the Moreno Hills therizinosaur.

The name as spelled on this list is NOT correct: it's close, but not
correct.

I will not post the proper name, as (Tracy has noted) premature chatter
about it can jeopardize the paper in question.

The documentary in question is a series (4 parts, to be released as a single
2 hour episode the first time shown) called "When Dinosaurs Roamed North
America".  Much good in it, but not perfect.  Very nice staff on that
project, though.  See it this summer, around the time a certain big dinosaur
movie from Universal comes out.

Expect the list to be VERY busy this summer...
