  This is a really hard question to answer. Nearly all the material coming
from these beds are cranial in nature, though some of the ankylosaur
material in *Bienosaurus* may be postcranial scutes or fragments of them.
Lots of teeth and jaws are known for *Bienosaurus*, *Diachungosaurus*,
*Scelidosaurus oehleri* [= *Tatisaurus]. It is the prosauropods that have
postcrania, the teratosaur *Lukousaurus*, and mammals.

<2. I am looking for good figures (drawings or photos) of theropod
basisphenoids...can anyone give me any refs?>

  The only comparative source I can offer you is _The Dinosauria_ (1990,
1992, California University Press).

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
