Hi! :-)

        Tired of "waiting for the paper"? Don't miss this opportunity!!!
Just respond to this e-mail, give us your credit card number, and we will
send you all the papers you always wanted to have as .pdf as soon as we get
to know of them!
        Here a small sample of what we can offer you right now or soon:

Fang, Pang, Cheng, LÃ, Xu, Zhang, Zhou, Zhu, Ouyang, Sima, Ming, Qing, Yuan,
Lu, Wang, Wang, Wang, Zheng, Cheng, Chen, Ji, Ji, Rao, Dong, Li, Kong, Qin,
Sha, Xia et al. (further authors yet unknown) (in press): *Euproavis* is a
chimera, Gu Jizhui Dongwu Xuebao = Vertebrata PalAsiatica 40(4)

        ååé... oh, sorry: *Euproavis*, recently hailed as an alternative
ancestor of birds, is a fake. While the heads and necks of the known
specimens commonly belong to pleurosaurid sphenodontidans, most of the rest
of the fossils represent possibly flying basal oviraptorosaurs soon to be
described. More problems with fossils from Shangri-La are to be expected;
for example the only known slab of *Frigidodactylus* has been polished with
aggressive toilet cleaners, casting doubt on its reported lack of
integumentary fibres. Buy the full story now!!!

Czerkas, Olshevsky, Paul & Ford (in press): An arboreal dinosaur from
Liaoning, Nature 450, lower half of 34 -- first few lines of 36

        That's the aye-aye dinosaur, folks. Its phylogenetic placement is
uncertain. More hasn't leaked yet, but our informant has promised us more
next week if he can reach us alive.

Norell, Ji & Ji (in press): The first ornitholestid from China, Gu Jizhui
Dongwu Xuebao = Vertebrata PalAsiatica 41(1)

        *Huaxiasaurus* is described at last. With many astonishing photos of
the usual poor quality.

Sereno, Coria & Bonaparte (in press): A Relative of the Basal Dromaeosaur
*Rahonavis* from Patagonia, Science 300, 1237 -- 1240

        *Araucanoraptor* is more interesting than you ever suspected. Check
it out!!!

Chiappe, Lambe and another (in review): A long-legged shorebird-like basal
bird (Aves: Enantiornithes) from the Late Maastrichtian Lance Formation of
Wyoming, JVP 21(2)

        Ever wondered what that long-legged enantiornithine was that
Feduccia mentioned in 1996? Here it is -- fully described on 10 pages and
named *Paravosetta inexspectata*. Unfortunately it can't be referred to
anything more specific than Euenantiornithes.

Bakker (in press): Behold the Mighty Dinosaur. Hunteria 20(-3), 1 -- 200,
2003

        The full osteology of *Brontoraptor*. The beast is 20 feet 3 inches
longer than any of you expected. Need I say more?

...and many, many more!!!!!!!!!
