Dear Jerry,
Would you be so kind to forward me a copy of the sauropod papers?
Thank you very, very much
Kind regards,
Matías

> According to our phylogenetic analyses, both Didactylornis gen. nov. and

> Confuciusornis and all the more derived birds, and more closely related to
> the short-tailed pygostylian birds than to the long-tailed avialian birds.
> The early history of pygostylian birds is poorly documented except for the

> of birds.
