Subject: Deinonychus info?

Hi all,

I'm new to the list and I'm looking for information on Deinonychus. Most 
books and web sites I've been to seem to lump them in with the 
Velociraptor, etc. , but I understand that there are quite a few 
differences. What I'm really looking for right now are images of the head 
and skull (mainly the front and top since they seem to be the least 
common). I'm also interested in measurements of the head (L, W & H). Also, 
any reference to a book with lots of information on the Deinonychus 
specifically with lots of pictures would be extremely helpful. If you're 
curious why I want this info, it's because I'm working on a 3d model, but I 
the width of the current head doesn't look right. I have a work in progress 
image at http://www.members.home.net/sbowling/wip.html and would welcome 
any info from those of you who are a little more knowledgeable than I. 
Also, for this version at least, I'm not interested in feathers, although I 
may do another more modern view of one later.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
