CNN

If you have access to CNN, go to it now!  "I found another skull"
Sereno et al. just had their press conference about their new african
theropods.  I cannot remember the details (T. Holtz, can you enlighten
us with species names).  The "spidery allosaur" is an impressive
beastie, with extremely long arms (therizinosaur/deinocheirid-like?
My roommate saw them and asked "it's quadrapedal?"), a *HUGE* pectoral
girdle, and very gracile.  The "huge charcharodont" is very abberant,
with a very sharp snout and an elongate naris.  It's skull is larger
than T. rex.  The CNN commentator very pointedly said that it
"ambushed it's prey", which makes me wonder...  See the news, read the
article in Science, wish YOU had the grant money...
