RE: Reference for _Chubutisaurus_

[mike@miketaylor.org.uk (Mike Taylor)]

I forward this message back to this for two reasons.  First, to let
you all know that my problem is solved, and thanks to Mickey; and
secondly to remind everyone (not least myself) what a truly
outstanding resource the Polyglot Paleontologist site is:
        http://ravenel.si.edu/paleo/paleoglot/

Very highly recommended!
