<<I have the same /Or/ sound in all of those words.>>

Come to think about after looking at that list again, I do have /A/ rather than /O/ for ''Lauren'' and ''Lawrence''. So here's how I pronounce these words:

sore - /sOr/
thesaurus - /T@sOr@s/
dinosaur - /daIn@sOr/
centaur - /sEntOr/
Taurus - /tOr@s/
saurian - /sOri@n/
tyrannosaurus - /t@r{n@sOr@s/
aura - /Or@/
Laura - /lOr@/
Lauren - /lAr@n/
Lawrence - /lAr@ns/
Mauritania - /mOrIteIni@/

sore (or)
thesaurus (or)
dinosaur (or)
centaur (awr)
Taurus (or)
saurian (awr) [never used]
tyrannosaurus (or)
aura (or)
Laura (or)
Lauren (or)
Lawrence (or)
Mauritania (awr) [never used]

I predominantly use (or), but caught and sore definiely do not use the same vowel sound.
