Dinosaur Brain Cancer (WAS: Re: Dino-related news stories: Austroraptor on display and more)



The link below to a story about dinosaur bone cancer led to a link about a Gorgosaurus specimen with a preserved extraskeletal osteosarcoma that filled the area occupied by the "cerebellum and brainstem". I can't recall this being published, but, as Seinfeld's Uncle Leo says " I'm getting old. I forget things." If anyone can provide me a citation for a paper on this remarkable specimen I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Dan
