The full URL for the paper (unless this has been posted already) is:-

[ While you're there, you should also look at:
http://www.sciencemag.org/science/scripts/display/full/274/5288/720.html/
which is about Sinosauropteryx. The same issue also has a blurb
about Dale Russell having problems collaborating with
paleontologists in China. The previous issue (or maybe it was the
one before that...) has Kevin Padian's review of Peter Dodson's new
book, and a molecular biology paper claiming that reasonable
estimates of the divergence times between vertebrates and the creepy
crawly things (excluding starfish and their ilk) at about 1 to 1.2
billion years ago. Note the difference between that time and the
time of the Burgess Shale fauna. A lot of interesting stuff hitting
the presses of late. -- MR ]
