TENDAGURU ARCHAEOPTERYX

[darren.naish@port.ac.uk]

I just picked this up during a stay in London (dugring which Luis 
and I got to meet Beri K and see just how big _Dacentrurus_ really
was)..

PARKINSON, J. 1930. _The Dinosaur in East Africa_. Witherby (London).

I was previously unaware of this book - has anyone heard of it 
before? It includes lots of stuff on the Tendaguru excavations and 
the discoveries made by the German teams there. Also mentions, often 
in passing, a fair bit of stuff that never got further attention or 
(to my knowledge) detailed description. For example, p. 132 mentions 
'.. a metacarpal bone of a bird, which Professor Stremme considers is 
likely to be allied to _Archaeopteryx_'. A possible Tendaguru 
archaeopterygid? Is there _any_ reference to this find elsewhere?
