WANKEL T. REX

[darren.naish@port.ac.uk]

Does anybody know, or know of work on, the exact 
excavation history for the Wankel _Tyrannosaurus rex_? 

I ask because pp. 46-49 in Horner and Lessem (1993, _The 
Complete T. rex_) a theoretical disarticulation series shows 
the left forelimb (with scapulocoracoid) being present up 
until the third stage, but absent thereafter. According to the 
text (p. 49) the left forelimb was discovered a short distance 
ventral to the vertebral column.. if this is so why wasn't it 
figured in the later disarticulation stages depicted? Does 
anyone know? 

The book credits this series of diagrams to Donna Braginetz 
but I asked her and she said they were not her work but 
those of Kris Ellingsen.. I have read some stuff about 
Ellingsen on the www but cannot find her email. If any has 
it, thanks.

There is a website on the Wankel specimen but it's not 
much help...
