Re: paleonet Dinosaur Genera List update #188

["Gilles Cuny" <gilles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear George,
Check the following:
CUNYG. (1995) - Première description d'un pied de
    Plateosaurus (Prosauropoda, Plateosauridae) du
    Trias de Violot. Ann. sci. Univ. Fr.-Comté,
    Besançon, Géologie, 4(12), 1992-93-94-95: 3-7.
CUNYG. (1995) - Révision des faunes de vertébrés du site de
    Provenchères-sur-Meuse (Trias terminal, Nord-Est de
    la France). Palaeovertebrata, 24(1-2): 101-134.
In both papers, I used the correct name Thecodontosaurus
elisae, although I confess I did not so in my first one in which the
species was listed (unfortunately in English and maybe read by
more people....):
BARDETN. & CUNY G. (1993) - Triassic reptile faunas from
    France. In "Evolution, ecology and biogeography of
    the Triassic Reptiles", Paleontologia Lombarda della
    Società Italiana di Scienze Naturali e del Museo Civico
    di Storia Naturale di Milano, Nuova serie, vol. 2: 9-18.
All the best,
Gilles.
