More new stuff just in...

Evans, S. E. 2001. The Early Triassic 'lizard' _Colubrifer campi_: a 
reassessment. _Palaeontology_ 44, 1033-1041.

This is the write-up of Evans' previously mentioned work (presented at 
SVPCA 2000): _Colubrifer_ is not a squamate nor even a diapsid - it's 
a procolophonoid and probably referable to _Owenetta_.

Segui, B., Quintana, J., Fornos, J. J. & Alcover, J. A. 2001. A new 
fulmarine petrel (Aves: Procellariiformes) from the Upper Miocene of 
the western Mediterranean. _Palaeontology_ 44, 933-948.

Description of the new _Pterodroma_-like taxon (gen et sp) 
_Pterodromoides minoricensis_. Nice description and some discussion 
of the importance of the Mediterrenean to seabird evolution. Stuff in 
the same issue on choeropotamids and on Miocene rodents and 
insectivores from Afganistan.
