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.
