Dwarf species of fanged dinosaur emerges from southern Africa
The link below is from The University of Chicago it’s slightly different than the other news blurbs you’ve probably seen already. Also the full article is Open Access. Be warned the PDF is 125 MB. There is a 25 MB version.
Paul C. Sereno, “Taxonomy, Morphology, Masticatory Function and Phylogeny of Heterodontosaurid Dinosaurs,” ZooKeys online, Oct. 3, 2012.

I’ve done some imaging for Paul. Leave a comment if you would like Dr. Paul Sereno at The University of Chicago to discuss Pegomastax africanus on a #SSHOw I will try to tempt Paul into a HO if there is enough interest.

The time lapse video of the reconstruction is pretty awesome. Someone ought to gif-ify it 🙂
When I arrived at Hopkins there were some pretty well known scientists studying tooth wear in dinosaurs and fossil remains. I remember being perplexed by the seminar notices coming out of the Cell Biology department..they sounded totally off the wall to this molecular biochemist. I think they’ve moved to an Anatomy dept. now so I don’t hear what they are up to any more.
