hey guys ~
since dino research is my middle name these days...,
i believe jeff is refering to chuandongocoelurus (18 letters), one of the

china is also the home of what i think is longest named dino, the prosauropod,
chinshakiangosaurus, capping out at 19 letters!
uh.. i think i just outed myself as total dino-geek...
later ~craig~
