A New Mosasaur

[Danvarner@aol.com]

       Anne Schulp and company at the Natural History Museum of Maastricht 
are announcing their new taxon of mosasaur at their museum website. It will 
be formally described next spring, so I do not have a name, but it's been 
nicknamed Ber. It's a large prognathodont that appears to fall in between P. 
solvayi and P. overtoni. They've used some of my artwork at the site and have 
also included Mark Hallett's famous Platecarpus painting. They've altered one 
of my paintings somewhat and have animated some sharks that you can play 
with. It's also offered as a screensaver. The movements remind me of a 
Cretaceous South Park.
