Re: Dinosaurs in April Discover Magazine

["King, Norm" <nking.ucs@smtp.usi.edu>]

I don't remember this coming over the list.  My apologies if it is old 
news.  The original paper on humpbacked dinosaurs, for those of you with 
access to a university library, is:

Bailey, Jack Bowman, 1997, Neural spine elongation in dinosaurs:  
sailbacks or buffalo-backs?:  Jour. Paleont., v. 71, no. 6, p. 1124-1146. 


I haven't seen the Discover article.  The original has lots of 
illustrated comparisons with mammalian and other synapsid spines, as well 
as with non-theropod dinosaurs.  Lots of numerical data.
