And now some new ones....

Ruiz, J.G.-A. 1997. Catalogo razonado de los vertebrados fosiles
   De Espana del Museo de Geologia de Barcelona (1882-1982).
   Treballs del Museu de Geologia de Barcelona, No. 6.

Listing of the vertebrate fossils in the geology museum of Barcelona.
Has sections on Triassic and Cretaceous. In the Triassic there is a
cast of a specimen of Lariosaurus. In the Cretacous there are lots of
fish (collected a couple in Las Hoyas last summer myself) and the
frog Monsecobatrachus and reptiles Meyasaurus and Montsecosuchus.


Next we have a functional study of the atlas-axis joint of the
albanerpetonid amphibians from the Mesozoic.

McGowan, G.J. 1998. The development and function of the
   Atlanto-axial joint in albanerpetonid amphibians.
   Journal of Herpetology, 32(1):116-122.


Now a major work on the historic and spatial distribution of
crocodilians. It's huge and discusses various climatic conditions
the control the distribution of crocs.

Markwick, P.J. 1998. Fossil crocodilians as indicators of Late
   Cretaceous and Cenozoic climates: implications for using
   Palaeontological data in reconstructing palaeoclimate.
   Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology,
   137:205-271.


Next we have a bunch of theropod footprints from the Upper
Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous of Brazil.

Carvalho, I.S. & S.S. Kattah. 1998. As pagadas do paleodeserto
   da Bacia Sanfranciscana (Jurassico Superior - Cretaceo Inferior,
   Minas Gerais). An. Acad. Bras. Ciencias, 70(1):53-67.


And now a detailed morphometric analysis of a Mesozoic beast!!
Ok it's a truss analysis of a fish - but that's ok with me - sometimes
it gets a bit lonely out there.

Gallo-da-Silva, V., M.J. Cavalcanti & P.R.D. Lopes. 1998.
   comparative  Morphometrics of Semionotidae, Lepisosteidae
   and Amiidae  (Actinopterygii: Neopterygii) by multivariate
   analysis of truss networks. An. Acad. Bras. Ciencias,
   70(1):117-124.


And a description of a new rhinesuchoid from the late Permian
 of Brazil. A real long snouter. Temnospondyl labyrinthodont.

Barberena, M.C. 1998. Australerpeton cosgriffi n.g., n.sp., a
   Late Permian rhiinesuchoid amphibian from Brazil.
   An. Acad. Bras. Ciencias, 70(1):125-137.


And now some new remains referred to Pararhabdodon from
the Upper Cretaceous of France. Some cranial and postcranial
material.

Laurent, Y., J. Le Loeuff & E. Buffetaut. 1997. Les Hadrosauridae
   (Dinosauria, Ornithopoda) du Maastrichtien superieur des
   Corbieres orientales (Aude, France). Revue Paleobiol.,
   Geneve, 16(2):411-423.


And now a big one on archosauriform teeth from the Upper Triassic
 of NE France. Mostly unclear where (which beasts) most come from 
but they do identify phytosaur teeth, Eudimorphodon teeth,
Plateosaurus teeth and indet. Ornithischian teeth, one with aff to 
Tecovasaurus. Cone-shaped teeth, they are from france..

Godefroit, P. & G. Cuny. 1997. Archosauriform teeth from the Upper
   Triassic of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port (northeastern France)>
   Palaeovertebrata, Montpellier 26(1/4):1-34.


And a detailed analysis of tooth morphology in thalattosuchians,
including Pelagosaurus, Teleidosaurus, Metriorhynchus, Geosaurus,
Dakosaurus, Teleosaurus, Steneosaurus & Machimosaurus.

Vignaud, P. 1997. La morphologie dentaire des Thalattosuchia
   (Crocodylia, Mesosuchia). Palaeovertebrata,
   Montpellier, 26(1/4):35-59.


Now, if you really want to know everything about the Solnhofen
microtexture, here it is. At least the deformed aspects.


Casey, M., K.Kunze & D.L. Olgaard.  1998. Texture of Solnhofen
   limestone deformed to high strains in torsion. Journal of
   Structural Geology, 20(2/3):255-267.


And now a detailed taphonomic analysis of a vertebrate-rich, lake
originated deposit from the Permian. Includes lots of fish and some
amphibian material, Sclerocephalus and Cheliderpeton.

Tittes, S., R. Trinkel, F. Issle, H. Kuhlmann, M. Hafflinger &
   T. Molz. 1996. An Excavation of fossils in a Rotliegend
   fresh water lake of the Saar-Nahe-Basin (SW-Germany).
   Mitt. Pollichia, 83:7-35. [In German]


And a detailed description of the theriodont mentioned.

Tatrinov, L.P. 1998. New data on Scalopognathus
   multituberculatus, a theriodont from the Lower Triassic
   Of the Pechora Basin (Komi Republic), with special
   reference to the taxonomic status of Scaloposaurs.
   Paleontological Journal, 32(1):64-72.

That's enough for now...
