This Sunday, October 5th, Drexel University paleontologist Ken Lacovara will be giving a lecture on Patagonian dinosaurs called "Giants at the End of the World." It will be at the recently re-opened New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, and it starts at 4 PM (and is free!).

Steve; Yes, I did see it, but I haven't had time to read it fully. I'll have to dig out the old Majungasaurus paper on the same topic and some of Matt Wedel's stuff, too.
I linked to the paper in the post above, as well, for anyone who doesn't have the paper (it's free to download, so check it out).
