Similarly, Aorun's skull looks proceratosauridy to me, so how many extra steps does it take to place it next to Guanlong as a juvenile of that genus?Mickey Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831823442911513851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156944512466583246.post-62084838247843694612013-05-05T12:28:52.925+02:002013-05-05T12:28:52.925+02:00After a quick check:
