Dino Guide Supplements?

[ZoPteryx]

It's been a few years since GSP's dinosaur field guide came out, and in that time many important discoveries have been made.  Does anyone know if he or Princeton Press plans on offering any supplements or new editions?  If not, I might have to make some.

I didn't realize that you were also an accomplished palaeontologist/palaeoartist! Cool.

I don't know about that, I'll let you be the judge.

I'm currently compiling a list of genera (not species for now) that have either been discovered since publication or fragmentary finds that I feel are distinct enough to warrant inclusion.   I'll post it here when it's finished.

Okay, here's the list. 

First I made a list of all new discoveries since publication (2010), then I went through various dino lists and added obscure genera to the list not present in the book.  Finally, I researched all genera to learn exactly how much is known about each genus; those known from little or relatively useless material were rejected (about 1/2 the original list).  The only exception I made was for a few genera known from highly distinct fragments.  Shown here are all those that made the final cut.  Thoughts?

A supplement might also include some taxonomic revisions. Raptorex comes to mind, because Paul quite happily sunk Tarbosaurus and Nanotyrannus into Tyrannosaurus but gave Raptorex its own entry without any note of 'this may just be a baby of a bigger tyrannosaur'.

Excellent point.  So off the top of my head that means I'll need to add a note under an entry for Raptorex and also create an entry for Torosaurs, which appears to have been liberated from Triceratops.  I think I'll ignore other taxanomic issues (like the his placement of Guanlong and the lumping of Hypacrosaurus and Centrosaurus) because the species are present and he does acknowledge other interpretations.  Keeping with the "theme" of his book though, I'll be a little conservative with naming, example: Vagaceratops (or Chasmosaurus) irvinensis, although he'd probably have it the other way around.

Time for an update: all research on new genera is complete.  However, I could use some help with the very recent Astrophocaudia, Comahuesaurus, and Latirhinus; particularly with regards to their size and the amount of known material.  I've pretty much been able to infer anything else from their abstracts.

Next step is to put everything in taxanomic order and then note corrections/updates in the existing material of the book.  Then comes the art.  I'll probably just pull skeletals off the web (giving credit to the source of course), but the life reconstructions I'll do myself.
