Re: Tiny Dinosaurs



Due to a bunch of unrelated technical problems (which I'm now fixing),
several messages were sent to but not distibuted by the list during
the past few days.  I haven't had a chance to deal with them before
now; my apologies for the delay.  Anyhoo, this is the first of the
bunch:

_Micropachycephalosaurus_ was smaller, for one. I think Microcephale
(undescribed pachycephalosaur) might be, too. There are some pretty tiny
basal ornithopods ("hypsilophodonts") as well.

BTW: Note new URL (in my signature), everyone! (The old one will still
work, too.)
