Oh... then you're not going to be too happy to learn of two new proposed 
genera: _Gazoosaurus_ and _Scrappydootherium_.     

;-)

While on the subject of new papers, this tete-a-tete recently appeared in "The 
Auk"...

Mayr, G. and Peters, D.S. (2007).  The foot of _Archaeopteryx_: Response to 
Feduccia et al. (2007).  The Auk 124: 1450-1452.

Feduccia, A., Martin, L.D., and Tarsitano, S. (2007).   Response to Mayr and 
Peters.  124: 1452. 


(No prizes for guessing who comes out best.)



Cheers

Tim
