Dinosaur Paleopathology Bibliography available @ SVP'99.

["Patty Ralrick" <pattyralrick@hotmail.com>]

For those of you who have been following the progress of the dinosaur 
paleopathology bibliography over the years, I am pleased to announce that it 
is now ready. :)

891 citations and almost 300 pages long, the bibliography covers tooth and 
bone pathology of dinosaurs and related topics such as mass mortality, 
fossil blood, insects as vectors of disease, disease evolution, pathologic 
eggshell and footprints, CT-scan, MRI technology, etc. It is unillustrated 
at present.

Virtually all references are fully annotated and cross-referenced. The 
bibliography is subdivided into two indexes, one by family/genus and then, 
secondly, by topic. This is the first attempt at a dinosaur paleopathology 
bibliography and has received praise from the few colleagues who have seen 
it so far.

I will have copies of the bibliography available on 3.5" floppy disk in Word 
98 format at Denver SVP. Cost per copy is $25.00 U.S. I will also have a 
paper copy at the conference for perusal, but I don't know where it will be 
displayed at present. If desired, copies can be sent post SVP, via email for 
a reduced price of $20.00 U.S. Upon receipt of cash or bank clearance of 
your cheque/money order, I will email the copy to you. Make cheques/money 
orders payable to the "Dinosaur Paleopathology Bibliography".

If interested in an email copy, email me at: dtanke@dns.magtech.ab.ca

 The cost of the bibliography is to cover costs incurred during its 
development. ALL monies received will go towards the second version of this 
bibliography- a planned CD-ROM version with an expanded bibliography and 
color photographs of pathological dinosaur bones/teeth/eggshell/footprints.

I see several geological puns recently. I add one here:

 "Where were you when the Vishnu schist hit the alluvial fan?"
