so pout. Most theropod workers are at GSA.

Chure described the braincase with Madsen in 1998 (JVP 18:115-125) and 
concluded: "Stokesosaurus may be the earliest itemirid, the earliest 
tyrannosaurid, or a lineage that independently reached a comparable level of 
basicranial organization. Unfortunately the limited amount of known 
Stokesosaurus material does not allow for choosing among these alternatives."
