If Itemirus is a tyrannosauroid, and given the apparent size disparity of the Bissekty dromaeosaurid material, I wonder if it's possible that the Bissekty formation had at least two taxa from both clades, a large one and a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156944512466583246.post-10521230940465956092014-07-14T11:48:21.432+02:002014-07-14T11:48:21.432+02:00Apparently, the anonymous reviewers did not care o...Apparently, the anonymous reviewers did not care of these miscodings...Andrea Cauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855060597677361866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156944512466583246.post-41431637493040095042014-07-14T11:45:12.803+02:002014-07-14T11:45:12.803+02:00Usually, I can ascribe miscodings to mistakes or l...Usually, I can ascribe miscodings to mistakes or laziness, but this was especially disappointing since the authors explicitly wrote the states they believed, even with specimen numbers to back them up.

For example, it has a dorsal tympanic recess, even labeled in the figure, contra coding 16 on page 237. Or how the surpratemporal fossa border is simply curved instead of sigmoid, contra coding 42 on that page.
