Questions about Abelisaurus



  I'm trying to draw an "accurate" picture of Abelisaurus.  I have
just about every popular book on dinosaurs, and they only give me
limited info.  Has there been any recent post-cranial material found?
I'm just not buying that it should be restored with a Carnotaur-like
body.  My best guess is that it had more in commen with the In-Vogue
Charcharodontosaurus.  Simply from a visual stand point, the skulls
have a lot in commen.  Is there any thing else besides the post
orbital fenestra (sp?) and the pinched orbit ( excuse the terminology,
but you know, that Tyrannosaur like eye socket) that would cause one
to think that it was related to a Carnotaurus?
  Next question.  Where can I get access to some research papers?  I'm
living in Valencia, California, only 30 miles from UCLA.  How do I go
about getting a paper there?
  Next question.  Was there any other Pterosaurs living with BIG AL
besides Ornithicherius or Nyctosaurus?
  And finally, forgive me if I spell this wrong ( hey with a sceen
name like NANNOTYRAN with two N's in the middle what do you expect) is
there any thing else I could learn about Secernosaurus other than the
fact it was an Ornithopod?  How about plant life in the related
formation?
