Re: Opisthodontosaurus, new captorhinid from Lower Permian of Oklahoma



Apparently this journal has changed its citation system. This online
article does not have assigned page numbers but it is in Volume 102,
article 50, so I need to correct the citation.

A new captorhinid reptile from the Lower Permian of Oklahoma showing
