Status of Tylosteus

Tylosteus ornatus Leidy, 1872 was shown by Sullivan (2006) to be very similar to Dracorex hogwartsia, rejecting the assertion that Tylosteus is a specimen of Pachycephalosaurus. Therefore, Tylosteus cannot be a synonym of Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis, and a petition will be made for the International Commission on Zooological Nomenclature to resurrect the name Tylosteus.

Why is a petition needed? Was the type specimen of Pacycephalosaurus transferred to it or something? Dinoguy2 01:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If Dracorex looks like a dragon, why is not a Dragon?

Dracorex looks like a dragon, and the skeleton is probably a juvenile, so it was big. So why is not actually called a dinosuar that looks like a dragon, and not a dragon?
