reptiles as climate indicators

[Silvio Renesto <renesto@mailserver.unimi.it>]

Dear all,
         a colleague of mine (a micropaleontologist) is working on a large 
scale study of climate variations during the Cretaceous (NOT at K/T 
boundary) and asked if there is any literature focusing on reptile faunas 
(dinosaurs included)  as indicators of climate variations during that period.
Working mainly on Triassic I have been of little help, but maybe some of 
you is aware of publications I don't know...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance and please reply offlist to me:

And apologies for cross posting.

All the best,

                                        Silvio Renesto
