Upcoming Article on Massospondylus (Sauropodomorpha) Embryos from the Lower Jurassic of Africa

By Bill Parker on Thursday, November 11, 2010
A bunch of news articles have come out over the last two days discussing an upcoming article in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology discussing details of embrionic remains of the Jurassic sauropodomorph Massospondylus.

At this time it is unclear how this paper will differ from the original find of Massospondylus embryos in 2005.

You can check out two of the new stories (including photos) here and here.

    To be fair, the original paper in Science was rather short. Based on the news articles, I'm assuming this is a more complete description of that same material.

    I would have to agree.

    Just discovered that a "preprint" is available here: http://www.vertpaleo.org/userfiles/File/JVP%20preprint.pdf

    No trickery here, I found the link on SVP's press release page:
