PARKINSON & A NEW SAUROPOD

[darren.naish@port.ac.uk]

Can someone tell me the full name of the Parkinson who created the 
name _Megalosaurus_ in 1822 please? I think I recall James being his 
first name, but cannot find a reference stating such. Thanks!

Also, this just in..

RAUHUT, O.W.M. and WERNER, C. 1997. First record of a Maastrichtian 
sauropod dinosaur from Egypt. _Palaeont. afr._ 34: 63-67.

The paper describes a left femur from a small sauropod: the femur 
shows strong similarities to those of brachiosaurids and thus the 
authors suggest that brachiosaurids may have survived to the end of 
the Cretaceous. Yet another record disproving the myth of reduced 
Cretaceous sauropod diversity.

"(This) confuses Americans quite a lot"
