Is there any indication of how much of the skull is known? It appears that 
Africa is now giving the long need sauropod skulls. The detailed description 
of this beast should be delight. But I have one question as why Russel and 
Taquet publish their stuff in such inaccessible journals. Is it that their 
material is really not worthy of a better place?

This Zupaysaurus? Any idea how old these deposits are ? Would it mean that 
this is a neotheropod that is of the same antiquity as the Herrerasaurs and 
early Ceratosaurus ?

Another question: is Aliwalia rex still a staurikosaur? or is it an 
indeterminate archosaur? Finally is the name staurikosaur or herrerasaur 
cosidered more appropriate by the taxonomic nitpickers?
