The Bambiraptor holotype was originally referred to Velociraptor.  If casts
were available before 2000, Oxford might not have known about the name
Bambiraptor when they received it.

Reference- Burnham,D.A.,Derstler, K.L., and Linster, C.J. 1997.  A new
specimen of Velociraptor (Dinosauria:Theropoda) from the Two Medicine
Formation of Montana. Dinofest International Proceedings 1997. pp. 73-75
