So according to the ICZN <i>Tyrannosaurus</i> may be <i>nomen protectum</i> and <i>Manospondylus</i> may be <i>nomen oblitum</i>. I think I think that is the consensus as of now. But I'm glad you brought it up. I'm sure losing <i>Tyrannosaurus</i>, even in name only, would be a tragedy to many!David Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072328548753126802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239973789011419490.post-78080926271613380552010-10-28T10:46:29.912-04:002010-10-28T10:46:29.912-04:00Very nearly happy birthday Dynamosaurus if I recal...Very nearly happy birthday Dynamosaurus if I recall the dilemna over names or should it be Manospondylus gigusMike Walleyhttp://www.everythingdinosaur.comnoreply@blogger.com
