Sirs and madams:

    I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a copy of this paper from
someone:


   




Author(s): MAXWELL WD; OSTROM JH
Title: TAPHONOMY AND PALEOBIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF TENONTOSAURUS-
DEINONYCHUS ASSOCIATIONS 

Source: JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY V0015 N4 DEC 1995 pp. 707-
712. 
Abstract: The discovery of a nearly complete skeleton of Tenontosaurus 
tilletti and closely associated multiple shed teeth of the 
dromaeosaur Deinonychus antirrhopus provides evidence that 
may support the often repeated suggestion that Deinonychus 
was a pack-hunting predator. The taphonomy of the specimen 
adds weight to the additional conclusion that Tenontosaurus 
was the specific food preference of the Deinonychus predator
population. Among theropods, the only other specific animals
that have been found as unmistakable food objects are 
varisaurus in Compsognathus and Coelophysis in Coelophysis. 
These two could have been examples of opportunistic 
incidental predation or scavenging, but it appears that 
Deinonychus actively preyed on a deliberate food choice, 
Tenontosaurus.
