RE: Mapusaurus Display

[Allan Edels <edels@msn.com>]

First:  Yes it does look like the half-n-half display.
Second:  What's that dog doing there?!!?!!?
Third:  You need to be sure when you paste the second URL that Dan supplied 
that you add ".DTL" not ".dtl".
Forth: Based on the additional information shown on the detail screens, it 
looks like this may have been excavated during a time when Thom Holmes was 
working with Coria and Currie in Patagonia - Thom, if you are still on the 
list can you confirm?  (And, no, I do not mean Thom Holtz - one lives in 
Maryland, and the other in New Jersey [vice versa, actuallly]   :-)  ).
Fifth: In case you didn't have enough versions of the announcement about 
_Mapusaurus_ to look at, here are 2 more:
        From BBC:
               http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4918292.stm
       From Yahoo:
               http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060418/ap_on_sc/big_dinosaur_5
