Get your name into the permanent scientific record!
Just a quick update on the crowd-funding effort to publish the new diplodocoid volume as open-access papers at Palaeontologia Electronica.
Van der Linden et al. 2024:Figure 6. Cervical vertebra 13 of Ardetosaurus viator MAB011899. CV13 is shown in A) ventral, B) dorsal, C) left lateral, D) right lateral, E) posterior, and F) anterior view. A close up of the white box in F is provided of the accessory laminae in the SPRF, shown in anterodorsal view. White shaded areas indicate reconstructed parts. The left cervical rib loop was obscured in ventral view for support and therefore roughly outlined here. White dotted lines in A indicate the remnants of the ventral keel. 1 indicates the triangular projections on the diapophysis. Abbreviations: al, accessory lamina; CPRL, centroprezygapophyseal lamina; epi, epipophysis; pap, parapophysis; PCDL, posterior centrodiapophyseal lamina; pre, pre-epipophysis; PRSL, prespinal lamina; pvf, posteroventral flange; SPOL, spinopostzygapophyseal lamina; SPRL, spinoprezygapophyseal lamina; TPOL, interpostzygapophyseal lamina.
The drive now contains an offer that maybe it should have included from the start: “We promise to mention the names of the backers in the acknowledgements of at least one upcoming paper, if this campaign is successful.”
I don’t know how big an incentive this will feel to different people. But I remember the thrill the first time my own name appeared in the scientific record, in the acknowledgements of the “Angloposeidon” paper (Naish et al. 2004), and I hope it will do the same for some of you.
So if you’d like to contribute, and become the envy of your friends and family by appearing in the scientific record as a sponsor of sauropod palaeontology, get yourself over to the crowdfunding page!
