• This is a historically significant dinosaur, as it was the first partly articulated dino found in North America.
• Prieto-Márquez et al. reexamined this dino and consider it a nomen dubium since there is nothing diagnostic about the type material that says that it's a new or described species (evidence is inconclusive).
