很少科学家注意到上述物种,直到在70年代到80年代,加尔东重新检验棱齿龙类。在1973年,加尔东与詹姆斯·詹森(James A. Jensen)叙述了一个标本,该化石缺少头部、手部、尾部,当时被归类于雷克斯侏儒龙,而且可能在研究前受到损伤[19]。到了1977年,加尔东认为敏捷侏儒龙与雷克斯侏儒龙、新标本之间有极大差异,于是将雷克斯侏儒龙,独立为雷克斯奥塞尼尔龙(Othnielia rex)[20]。这个1977年的研究,除了重要的橡树龙分布于各大洲的研究以外,另外也将伴侣化石龙、纤细化石龙,归类于雷克斯奥塞尼尔龙,并提出快速化石龙是个疑名[20]。而1990年新发现的德林克龙,一度被认为是奥塞尼尔龙的异名,使这个状况更为复杂[7]。
