Re: Pathology?

[Phil Bigelow <bigelowp@juno.com>]

Oooo, Ooooo,
He's got not one, not two, but three pathology papers for download in PDF
format:


Rothschild, B. M., Tanke, D., and Carpenter, K. 1997. Tyrannosaurs
suffered gout. Nature 387:357. (328 KB)


McWhinney, L., B. Rothschild, and K. Carpenter, 2001. Posttraumatic
chronic osteomyeltis in Stegosaurus dermal spikes, P. 141-156 in
Carpenter, K. (ed.) The Armored Dinosaurs. Indiana University Press,
Bloomington. (1176 KB)

  
McWhinney, L., K. Carpenter, B. Rothschild. 2001. Dinosaurian humeral
periostitis: a case of a juxtacortical lesion in the fossil record. P.
364-377 in Tanke, D. & K. Carpenter (eds.)  Mesozoic Vertebrate Life.
Indiana University Press, Bloomington.

That's enough pain-'n-sufferin' reading to satisfy even a masochist on a
morphine drip!
