Seismosaurus Ref.
As I start to write up the biggest-dinosaurs thread for the FAQ (and
must surely be _the_ more FA'd of Q's :-), I find that it would be
useful if I could track down the original _Seismosaurus_ paper, for
which the only reference I have is Gillette 1991. I've searched for
"Seismosaurus" on the DinoData reference base at
http://www.dinodata.net/Refs/scien.htm
but all it turns up is:
GURLEY, L.R., VALDEZ, J.G., SPALL, W.D., SMITH, B.F.,
GILLETTE, D.D. (1991). Proteins in the fossil bone of the
dinosaur, Seismosaurus. J. Prot. Chem. 10, 75-100
Is that it? Seems to be all that Gillette has formally published on
_Seismosaurus_, unless you count _Seismosaurus: the Earth Shaker_.
More, the only other ref listed is:
ZOCCO, T.G. and SCHWARTZ, H.L. (1994) Microstructural analysis
of bone of the sauropod dinosaur Seismosaurus by transmission
electron microscopy. Paleontology 37(3), 493-503
Can it really be true that such a well-preserved and fascinating
specimen has only ever generated two papers? What's the story there?
Thanks in advance,
