As new material is discovered, how quickly are reference materials
becoming obsolete?
27th August 2002
Question
According to http://dinosauricon.com/,
roughly as many Dinosaur genera have been named since 1985 as in all
the time before. Does this mean that reference works like Weishampel
et al's Dinosauria - last updated in 1991 - are
uselessly obsolete?
Is it likely that most of these new genera will subsequently be shown
to be the same as already-known genera?
