The Swedish Hypsilophodontid

["Jerry D. Harris" <dinogami@hotmail.com>]

Re: recent list activity concerning the Swedish hypsilophodontid:

   I've been in contact with the individual studying these fossils, and he 
has assured me of several things:

(1) learning that the specimen had been "named" by the press was a surprise 
to him; he had never consented to anything like that;

(2) the specimen is _far_ too fragmentary to be named; and

(3) even if it WERE to be named, he would never, EVER name it 
"Kristianasaura."

So everyone can stop talking about this as if it were either described or 
named and WAIT FOR THE BLOODY PUBLICATION!!!!
