Re: Blogging SVP
There's a complete articulated skeleton (including every scale) of
*Elpistostege* which shows it's one node closer to us than *Tiktaalik*,
aïstopods are whatcheeriid-grade stem-tetrapods, *Chriacus* and bats are
sister-groups, Oxyaenidae and Carnivoriformes are sister-groups while the
hyaenodontids could be a paraphyletic mess and Viverravidae is far away, there
are still no Cretaceous placentals... oh, and, *Brontosaurus* and
*Eobrontosaurus* were resurrected today, while *"Diplodocus" hayi* is a new
genus (*D. carnegii* + *D. hallorum* are closer to *Kaatedocus* +
*Barosaurus*), and the type specimen of *D. longus* is undiagnostic -- an ICZN
Case is in preparation. *Tyrannosaurus* is not descended from *Daspletosaurus*,
it came from Asia.
