Re: Psittacosaurus "chaoyoungi"



From: "Jaime A. Headden" <qilongia@yahoo.com>

The fact that it was renamed *Chaoyangsaurus youngi,* actually.

Really? That's not what I read:
http://www.dinodata.net/Dd/Namelist/Tabp/P179.htm
According to the above web page, P. "chaoyoungi" "may prove to be Chaoyangosaurus (D.A. Russel pers. comm.)". By that quote, I get the impression that the types for both Chaoyangosaurus and P. "chaoyoungi" are two different things.
The dates surrounding discussions of the two species do seem to suggest that they might be based on one and the same specimen, however.
Kinda confused,
