Talk:Bactrosaurus

Cionodon kysylkumensis
The referral of Cionodon kysylkumensis Riabinin 1931 to Bactrosaurus is after Nessov (1995). Norman and Sues (2000) found this assignment unjustified and C. kysylkumensis has been sunk as a junior synonym of Levensovia transoxiana by Averianov and Sues (2009).

"An early relative of Lambeosaurus"?
How is Bactrosaurus "an early relative of Lambeosaurus" if the former is from 70 Ma and the latter from 75 Ma? Dave Norman's An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs (1985) says Bactrosaurus is from about 100 Ma (p. 116). I imagine this is outdated info? SaberToothedWhale (talk) 22:52, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
