For example, as we study our new amphibian specimens, it will be very interesting to see where their closest relatives are found.
This will help any expert you show the photographs to along with the specimen, as it will establish the context in which you found it.
Its immediate sequel will offer a census of all known copies (the first attempted since Sir Sidney Lee's in 1902, and a good deal more ambitious in scope), and, as the definitive source of information about the condition, provenance, binding and whereabouts of each extant specimen of F1, it will presumably be seized on at once as the bible of the up-market contract book thief.
She expects to receive more specimens later this week, but it will take several days to weeks to complete tests.
Until there are more specimens, he says, it will be hard to tell "if it was novel anatomy or just dumb luck" that led to the later success of T. rex and its mighty relatives.
If further study does confirm that the specimen is not Prionosuchus, it will be the second species of terrestrial vertebrate known from the Pedra de Fogo Formation, and thus an important discovery.
It has been said that it is impossible to do this, but by reference to the specimen exhibited by Dr. Phelps, it will be seen that the acetabulum is the thickest part of the pelvis, and there is no difficulty whatever in making a sufficiently deep acetabulum.
If the World Cup of 2015 can maintain the momentum of reducing beautiful physical specimens to nervous wrecks, it will truly be the biggest and the best.
Three key assumptions underlie this step: (1) there are no false positives (if the specimen contains a negative LN, it will be correctly identified by the pathologist); (2) all LNs are exchangeable; that is, they all have an equal probability of being involved; and (3) sensitivity is the same for LN-positive and LN-negative patients.
ADASP realizes that specimens and practices vary, and it will not be possible to report these elements in every case.
