We'll hopefully recover a complete arm (we already have both humeri), and the right side ribs are still articulated to the dorsal vertebrae, so there is a good chance more will turn up.Maltesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302603284748193525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409934261224624044.post-67294165079622282042010-02-03T13:32:43.905-08:002010-02-03T13:32:43.905-08:00Grah! I want to work on this animal! Well I do and...Grah! I want to work on this animal! Well I do and I don't. As discussed before, the fragmentary nature of the bones of Pete 3 looks awful.<br />I was interested, reading your paper, on the use of low viscosity cyanoacrylates, and this certainly seems to be the best method for stabalising material in this state of preservation. I spoke to Amy Davidson at SVP last year about their use, especially her intensive work on Shuvuuia (IGM100/977)- really good stuff..<br />I know you have the vast majority of the post cranial and appendicular skeleton of Pete 3 but do you have the sternal plates and/or furcula for this specimen? <br />Really enjoyed the paper and your prep history of this specimen.Mark Wildmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644970562043088893noreply@blogger.com
