Re: "RAJASAURUS"
Mickey:
"I wonder if some of the Majungatholus-like snout elements described as
Indosuchus (Chatterjee, 1978; Sampson et al., 1996) are really Rajasaurus."
Myself:
"Wouldn't it rather be that _Rajasaurus_ is _Indosuchus_?"
Mickey:
"No, because the type braincase of Indosuchus lacks the central horn found
in
"Rajasaurus" and Majungatholus. Unless the horn is a sexually dimorphic
character or something."
Then why did you suggest it in the first place? And again, back to my
original question, I meant, that if "Rajasaurus" material was synonymous
with _Indosuchus_, shouldn't it be that _Indosuchus_ was the name used for
the material? However, I know see that you mean referred material, and not
the holotype. Also, I apologize for earlier referring to "Rajasaurus"
without quotes. I wrote the message prior to realizing it was unpublished.
