Just a quick alert for some interested people. Bit short notice I know but just a month from now there is a Jehol-Wealden conference in Southampton, including a fieldtrip to the Isle of Wight. I’m sure it will be of interest to dinosaur researchers and dinophiles in the UK and likely beyond so is worth taking a look at. Here’s the link.
Dave Hone's Archosaur Musings 
After you attend this conference you can join our Mid-Mesozoic Field Conference in Utah and Colorado. Here is our link:

I’d been meaning to mention this too Jim. Apologies for not having done so and glad it’s flagged up as well.
I know this is a bit off topic, but i am starting an epq and i would like to do it on the debate behind the function of the enlarged second toe claw on dromaeosaurs, could you possibly link me some articles that are worth reading.
is there any way of finding john ostroms notes on deinonychus as i want to explore the origin of the slashing theory in my epq on the debate behind dromaeosaur claws and how it helps us to understand the evolution of birds.
