		Paul Willis: It’s very significant, because in the last few years a whole range of small bizarre crocodiles have been turning up all over the world including a thing like Chimerasuchus from China, which actually seems to be a plant eating crocodile.
		Paul Willis: Well, it is actually a wishbone, the furcula is the wishbone and it is made up of the clavicles fused together in the middle.
		Robyn Williams: Paul Sereno was also talking at the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) about the fact, surprisingly, that dinosaurs didn’t make use, despite they had 50 million years or more over a particular period, to go into the ocean and to go elsewhere, for instance, up into the trees.

	University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paul Sereno’s interest in collecting fossils and studying nature dates back to his childhood, when for Christmas one year, his parents gave him a butterfly-collecting kit.
		Sereno, his brother and four sisters proceeded to turn the family basement into an insect lab, collecting, breeding and hatching giant moths and roving the neighborhood in round-the-clock insect patrols.
		Sereno’s fieldwork began in 1988 in the foothills of the Andes in Argentina, where his team unearthed the first complete skeleton of the primitive dinosaur Herrerasaurus, previously known only from bones of the hind limb, pelvis and tail.

		Sereno unveiled his discovery yesterday and said he named the new species Deltadromeus agilis, or "agile delta runner" because the bones show that it was "the most slender and agile large predator that we know of."
		Sereno, in a study to be published today in the journal Science, also announced discovery of the most complete skull ever found for Carcharondontosaurus saharicus, an animal that may have been the largest and most fearsome animal in the world 90 million years ago.
		Sereno said the fossils suggest that there was a rapid and independent evolution of meat-eating species in North America, Africa and South America after the continents drifted apart some 100 million years ago.

	"New" Flier Swoops Into Dinosaur Hunter's Bestiary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paul Sereno, a paleontologist who led the expedition that found key fossils (a wing and teeth) behind the exhibit, thinks pterosaurs and their landlubbing dinosaur cousins command such popular appeal because they come from a world that must be imagined but was ultimately real.
		In 1997 Sereno and 15 colleagues unearthed the fossil remains of Suchomimus tenerenis, a 100-million-year-old sail-backed spinosaur.
		When Paul Sereno and his colleagues announced their discovery of a 110 million-year-old giant crocodile several years ago in Washington, D.C., ten students from Chicago city schools were on hand for the event.

	Suchomimus
		As part of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno's dinosaur hunting team Varrichio was walking in hopes of discovering dinosaur fossils that may, he hoped, give insights into the paleoenvironment of ancient Africa.
		Although Sereno was noted for the discovery of two of the oldest dinosaurs, Eoraptor and Herrerasaurus, and a carnivore that may have been bigger than T. rex, Carchardontosaurus, Suchomimus was proving to be his most popular, and perhaps successful, discovery.
		Sereno is currently working on two giant sauropods and hopes to unveil them by the millennium.

	Monster crocodile probably dined on large dinosaurs
		Sereno said that the elongated skull of the Sarcosuchus (pronounced SARK-oh-SOOK-us) is about 6 feet in length and dominated by narrow jaws studded with more than 100 teeth.
		Sereno said the animal's eye sockets are rotated upward, enabling it to remain submerged in water while watching the shoreline.
		Sarcosuchus probably did the same thing, said Sereno, but because the ancient animal was so large it could easily handle huge dinosaurs, including the massive long-necked, small-headed sauropods that were common in that African region.

	AAAS - AAAS News Release
		With its hammer-shaped skull and stacks of small, narrow teeth, Nigersaurus was a massive, Mesozoic fern mower, said Sereno, a professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago in Illinois.
		Sereno’s latest discovery was unearthed in Niger, where his team also recently found a dinosaur-munching crocodile, Sarcosuchus imperator.
		The answers, Sereno suggested, lie in the posture and body size of early dinosaurs and the constraints these imposed on all subsequent evolution.

		Paul C. Sereno is arguably the most successful of this breed of paleontologists.
		Before Sereno's discovery, many thought that Pangea had split into two before the time of Afrovenator, but the dinosaur's closest relative is the Allosaurus, found in North America.
		Suchomimus was closely related to Baryonyx, an English Spinosaur, which suggests to Sereno that the spinosaur ancestor crossed the broad Tethyan Seaway that separated the north and south landmasses.
