The cranial material actually assigned to Mononykus olecranus is that of the
HoloType (GIN 107/6) which includes the braincase, a portion of the right
maxilla, and a teeth, all the others cranial material previously assigned to
Mononykus olecranus (GIN 100/99, GIN 100/1001) was reassigned to Shuvuuia
deserti.
