T. rex
Seeing that the query/observation that I sent to Darryl and Tracy has sort
of leaked onto this list and raised other queries, this is the basics.
Like others, I had MOR 555 as a posterior basicranium from T. rex. I did
not have location data for it so checked on the MOR database at their
website. On the database MOR 555 is identified as
and MOR 557 is listed as a T. rex basicranium. As no-one that I am aware of
has cited MOR 557 as T.rex, I'm trying to ascertain whether the error lies
in the MOR database, or whether it is correct and a typo has crept into the
literature and been promulgated. Tracy and Darryl both reckon 555 is the
correct number, but I haven't yet been able to find out their sources, so
in the meantime if anyone else has any definitive info on this, feel free
to contribute.
thanks
