Dinosaur Genera List corrections #87



Well, I might as well send notification of the two new dinosaurs that appear
in consecutive issues of Nature (March 19 and 26):

_Shuvuuia deserti_ Chiappe, Norell & Clark, 1998
_Scipionyx samniticus_ Dal Sasso & Signore, 1998

The former includes some of the material formerly assigned to _Mononykus_ as
well as nice skull material, and the latter is the little juvenile "Benevento
theropod" from Italy that has been around for about a decade with no name.

I haven't seen the issues yet, but the articles are summarized at the _Nature_
Web site. I hope I don't have to issue corrections of the spellings of the
names. The genera become #821 and 822 in the List:

_Shuvuuia_ Chiappe, Norell & Clark, 1998
_Scipionyx_ Dal Sasso & Signore, 1998
