The Dinosaur Folios #2

[Dinogeorge@aol.com]

Now that _Dinosaur Folios_ #1 is being shipped out (first come, first
served, naturally!), I've started working on the second installment,
to appear in June. Four dinosaurs will be featured: _Achelousaurus_,
_Craterosaurus_, _Einiosaurus_, and _Irritator_. Three are brand new,
described only months ago: The first and third are ceratopians (horned
dinosaurs) from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana (Jack Horner's
stomping grounds) and the fourth is a weird theropod from the Santana
Formation of Brazil. The other, _Craterosaurus_, is intimately
connected with _Regnosaurus_, included in the first installment, and
it essentially completes the discussion of the Early Cretaceous
stegosaur(s) from Europe.

The introductory section of Installment #2 will cover the
classification of Ceratopia, of which the aforementioned Two Medicine
genera greatly increase our understanding. (Many, many paleontologists
continue to call Ceratopia by its etymologically incorrect but vastly
more popular name Ceratopsia, but you won't find many etymological
errata in _The Dinosaur Folios_. Thanks, by the way, to Othniel
Charles Marsh for originating the misspelling Ceratopsia way back in
1890.)

For ordering information (Installments #1 and 2), e-mail me directly,
of course!
