Question responses - the morning version



I have returned and noticed several emails I can reply to. Instead of replying individually, I'm sending one email.

Err ... not described, and as for what Tom was talking about ... "wait for the paper..." :)

Good. That's all I wanted to know. I wanted to make sure I wasn't making things up in my mind.

McGowen, M.R., K. Padian, M.A. de Sosa, and R.J. Harmon, 2002. Description of Montanazhdarcho minor, an azhdarchid pterosaur from the Two Medicine Formation (Campanian) of Montana. Paleobios: 22(1), May 15, 2002 ($6.00) 20 pp.

Is this a new azhdarchid or a better description of a previously known one? Incidentally, does the presence of "$6.00" indicate it can be purchased from somewhere? And if so, where?

I know I¡¦ve asked a lot of questions here, and I understand that not many will be answered, especially since this list is focused on dinosaurs. But I hope that there are those of you with the answers to at least some of my questions.

I would recommend subscribing to the VRTPALEO list and resending your message there. The address is Vrtpaleo@usc.edu Send an email to listproc@usc.edu and put this in the message body:


SUBSCRIBE VRTPALEO <first name> <last name>

Remember to put your name in the blanks or you will be sending messages as "<first name> <last name>". :oP

Not in the first, yes in the second.

What's to prevent *Staurikosaurus* from possibly being an avepodan?

In other words, a life reconstruction would show an inverted-"F" shape on the side of the head?

Mike Keesey wanted the specimen number for several theropods. I can only help with *Pelecanimimus*. The holotype is LH 7777. Contact me offlist about the paper if you want it.

Patience, my man!! None are published yet. I am not at liberty to
distribute images of said specimens, but if you go to the Royal Tyrrell there is at least one postcard-sized specimen on display.

Okay, I was under the impression that they had been published since I hear so much about them. I doubt I'll be going to the Royal Tyrrell anytime soon considering it's probably over a thousand miles away. But I can wait. :op


Jeez Lousie, folks!!!  I JUST SAID YESTERDAY TO WAIT FOR
THE FRICKIN' PAPER!!!!!

Now, that I have actually gone and read my mail for the past few days, I see that you did.


MM 6670 is the type of the new Alabama taxon. Wait for the
description. Don't make me reach through the Internet and slap people around about this... :-) Trust me, it is worth the wait.

I knew what the specimens were, I was just hoping that they had been published or that it was okay to distribute images since they were discussed at the last SVP.


NMMNH P-27469 is illustrated in Carr and Williamson (2000. NMMNHS Bull. 17: 113-145).

Okay, I'll try to track down that reference sometime.
