THE NEW JVP!!!

[Tetanurae@aol.com]

Well, since no one has yet brought it up, the new issue of JVP is out.  Here
are the dinosaur related articles minus one (hey, I ran out of change...):

Gatesy, S M, and Middleton, K M.  1997.  Bipedalism, flight, and the
evolution of theropod locomotor diversity.  JVP 17(2):308-329.

Winkler, D A, Murry, P A, and Jacobs, L L.  1997.  A new species of
_Tenontosaurus_ (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from the early Cretaceous of Texas.
 JVP 17(2):330-348.

Higby Schweitzer, M, Johnson, C, Zocco, T G, Horner, J R, and Starkey, J R.
 1997.  Preservation of biomolecules in cancellous bone of _Tyrannosaurus
rex_.  JVP 17(2):349-359.
[I can just see the covers of Time and Newsweek next week: "Jurassic Park
Science Proven!!"...  Oh dear....]

Horner, J R.  1997.  Rare preservation of an incompletely ossified fossil
embryo.  JVP 17(2):431-434.

and something by Chinsame and someone else on bone microstructure, but as I
said, I ran out of change (don't I feel like a dope...).

There is also a good review of Dodson's "The Horned Dinosaurs":

Lehman, T M.  1997.  Review: The Horned Dinosaurs.  JVP 17(2):451-452.

Anyways....  YES!  More ornithopod stuff.  And it too helps show that
Hypsilophodontidae sensu Sternberg is weakly supported and probably
paraphyletc to boot!!  :-)
