New *Brachiosaurus* paper

[Brad McFeeters <archosauromorph2@hotmail.com>]

This one came out last month, but I don't think it was reported on this 
list.  I found it while browsing the PaleoBios website, I haven't had a 
chance to get a copy of the full article yet:


Bonnan, M.F. & Wedel, M.J., 2004.  First occurrence of *Brachiosaurus* 
(Dinosauria: Sauropoda) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of 
Oklahoma.  PaleoBios 24 (2): 13-21.

Abstract: The giant sauropod *Brachiosaurus* is one of the rarest sauropods 
from the Upper Jurassic of North America. The genus has previously been 
reported from Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. OMNH 01138 is a sauropod 
metacarpal of unusual proportions from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation 
of Oklahoma. The bone is longer and more slender than the metacarpals of 
diplodocids and *Camarasaurus*, and is most similar in size and proportions 
to the elongate metacarpals of *Brachiosaurus*. This is the first report of 
*Brachiosaurus* from Oklahoma.
