RE: Update of Dinosaur Material From Nebraska

[john-schneiderman@cox.net]

It took some looking but I found the newspaper articles which confirmed 
the Yale cast as the tooth found in Nebraska.

So the updated listing is:


1)  UNSM 1200 (6-8-28)  distal end of left femur of an iguanodontid or 
early hadrosaur from Burt County, near Decatur.

ornithopod dinosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous of North America. Brigham 
Young University Geology Studies, 25:1–10.

2)  UNSM (6-9-32)  partial sacrum from a ?hadrosaur from near ?[Peru, 
Nemaha County]

possibly non-dinosaurian

3)  UNSM 93085  a partial tooth from an albertosaur [Theropoda indet.] 
from gravel originating from a quarry in Gage County, near Holmesville.
