"No hay tyranosauroideos en la costa"

In Spain we have an expression that says "No hay moros en la costa", which means "there is no one to be seen" referring to the absence of an enemy.

With all the hate bestowed upon the names, Dynamoterror and Thanos, here at DTF, I honestly came wondering if anybody had expressed opinions either way about the name. In another thread, I had expressed an opinion that, in this case, at least Zanno and the rest of the team didn't go with something like, "Cedrorotyrannus" (tyrant of Cedar Mountain).

And actually, it's the oldest known *Cretaceous North American tyranosauroid. There is also Stokesosaurus from the Morrison Formation.
Guide to whether I use suffixes in clade references:
-If it has the unaltered name of a member genus, even a nomen dubium, include it. Examples: Tyrannosaurid, Titanosaurian
-If it has the name of a genus + sauria, leave it off. Examples: Ornithomimosaur, Oviraptorosaur.
-If it's not named for a genus, leave it off. Examples: Genasaur, Gravisaur.
-Exceptions to the 3rd: Maniraptoran, Saur-/Ornithischian

Just wait till they really run out of ideas and we start getting names like Fred and Bob...  ;)
