I've heard this "_Cryolophosaurus_-choked-on-a-prosauropod-bone" before, but 
I don't know where this originally came from.  The original Hammer and 
Hickerson (1994) article makes no mention of this, aside from the 
preservation of prosauropod bones near the _Crylophosaurus_  type material.  
It reminds me of the discredited "_Seismosaurus_-choked-on-a-rock" idea that 
was circulating for a while.

Cheers
