[edit] Synonymy of Ornithomimus elegans with Chirostenotes

Sues (1997) demonstrated that Ornithomimus elegans Parks, 1933 is a junior synonym of Chirostenotes. Therefore, remove Elmisaurus elegans from the Elmisaurus page and place it in synonymy with Chirostenotes.

Sues, H.-D. (1997). "On Chirostenotes, a Late Cretaceous oviraptorosaur (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from western North America." Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 17 (4): 698-716.

Good enough for me, as long as there are no more recent publications that still argue for placement in Elmisaurus.Dinoguy2 00:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
