fossils and bones needed

[cpretzma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Chip Pretzman)]

To all interested parties:

I am in need of small fragments of bones from extinct and extant marine
vertebrates, specifically lizards, preferrably mosasaurs and crocodilians,
for a destructive analysis.  Aquatic, semiaquatic and terrestrial
crocodilians, both extinct and extant, crossing the widest possible range of
ages would be desireable.  I will give full credit to anyone supplying such
specimens  in any publications arising from this work.  Depending on the
level of contribution, coauthorship is a possibility, but not guaranteed.  I
have developed a novel technique of extracting intact DNA from fossil
sources and need to add additional taxa(non-dinosaurian) to support the
efficacy of the technique.  Also, hominid specimens would be appreciated
under the same terms.
