[edit] Tyrannosaur?
"It may be related to Bagaraatan, and therefore a tyrannosaur."[1]
- ^ Rauhut, O.W.M., and Xu, X. (2005). The small theropod dinosaurs Tugulusaurus and Phaedrolosaurus from the Early Cretaceous of Xinjiang, China. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology 25(1):107-118
The reference actually states something else entirely: "Whereas Tugulusaurus is the most basal coelurosaur known, Xinjiangovenator represents a maniraptoran." Either the reference is correct and our article needs revising, or the statement about X being a tyrannosaur is correct, but the reference is wrong.

- The problem is it was overstated; they found some similarities with Baga, but not that Baga was a tyrannosauroid. J. Spencer (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
