I wanted to here everyone's opinion on some synonyms that others have worked out. I ranked a few here, and I thought it would be cool to see people discuss these possible ones, and possibly theorize new synonyms.
Some examples of ones that I currently believe are true: Dracorex=young Stygimoloch spinifer (I do not think that Stygimoloch is a Pachycephalosaurus) EDIT: Starting to change my mind a bit. Anatotitan=Edmontosaurus annectens Stygivenator=young Tyrannosaurus rex Maleevus=Talarurus (T. disparoserratus) Homalocephale=young Prenocephale prenes Sphaerotholus=Prenocephale new species (P. goodwini, P. buchholtzae, P. edmontonensis) Colepiocephale=Stegoceras new species (S. lambei) There are quite a few others.
Some that I currently believe are false: Styracosaurus, Einiosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Achelousaurus, Monoclonius=Centrosaurus new species Lambeosaurus, Corythosaurus (there was a time when I did in fact believe this one)=Hypacrosaurus new species Saurophaganax=Allosaurus new species There are a few others here too. The first two above are by Gregory S. Paul, who has all kinds of interesting theories about dinosaur synonymies.
I really want to see your own theories you may have worked out (such as the rather interesting Oxalaia=Spinosaurus new species theory), plus your thoughts on some pre-existing ones you have found or from this list.
I recently have been very intrigued by theorizing and reading about possible species synonymies.

I have heard that before, that Ceratosaurus dentisulcatus is a junior synonym of Ceratosaurus nasicornis.
Not sure how I feel about that one, though.

Seems very possible imo, they look virtually the same in many aspects

Torosaurus is not a Triceratops. It literally makes no sense. Why the a supposed adult would be just as large as the subadult and just shrink the horns, grow the thrill longer and elongate the beak.

That is not a supposed adult. That at the top is^, and who says horns cannot break? I did not believe it either, until I actually watched Dinosaurs Decoded and saw Horner's reasoning.

Again, still makes no sense. Why would its front nose horn shrink. That trait is actually a more basal trait of Ceratopsians.
Btw read this

Seems very possible imo, they look virtually the same in many aspects Looking similar doesn't make two species analogous, it's the fused vertebrae in C. nasicornis that show it's still immature.

Unfused you mean. Fusing happens during maturity. This happens in most if not all animals. Here is an example in humans:

Gregory S. Paul suggested that Eustreptospondylus is synonymous with Streptospondylus.
He also says Abelisaurus and Aucasaurus are the same.

Did someone edit this? Or was I going insane when I wrote this?
I DO NOT believe in Podokesaurus and Megapnosaurus as synonyms of Coelophysis. Same for Nanotyrannus.
