Just a comment on this *Eobrontosaurus*.  I would love to see the peer
reviewed paper that published this new genus.  My understanding of
*Eobrontosaurus* is that Bakker named this after the more primitive of the
apatosaurs.  But I have also heard the name of this new genus used in
relation to the apatosaur skull found at Nail Quarry nicknamed "Brian."  SO
my question: is _Apatosaurus yanaphin_ now being called *Eobrontosaurus*, and
if so where is the peer reviewed publication that it is originally described
in?  Or is this new genus name given to the skull from nail, again is it
published? Or is this another one of Bakkers Brontoraptor, Edmarka rex,
Wyomingraptor, cutesie names that he gives his dinos but doesn't publish in
peer review?  Or am I completely off base here....if I am I have no doubt
that I will be set straight  :)
