The specimen is a juvenile individual that exhibits apomorphies of \par
Coelurosaria, such as pleuroceolous dorsals and sacrals, a mesopubic pelvis \par
and a reduced ischium, The "tamano" of the specimen is comparable to the \par
tyrannosaurids of the Northern Hemisphere.\par
\par
I'm not sure what "tamano" is.\par
\par
"I take it they think its a tyrannosaurid. Not surprising to me. It's only a \par
matter of time before an Abelisaurid (or even a spinosaurid) from Hemisfrio \par
Norte is found..."\par
\par
Isn't Spinosaurus known from the Northern Hemisphere?  And Suchomimus, too?  \par
And if you apply one of the two definitions of Spinosauridae, you could get \par
Baryonyx as well.\par
