Thanks.

This is a key bit of info from the MOS source;

Source: Casts of original fossil

The original peer reviewed scientific article with actual photos of the fossils would be nice.

If you go back to the original article (as you did to get the "Source: Casts of original fossil" quote, you will note a series of small superscripted numbers behind key pieces of information. These will lead you to the bibliography. Most of the articles are not on line, but all will be in a good sized library (or available through inter-library loan).

The casts are very accurate--they have to be, as there are a lot of people who want to study the finds, and the originals are often very fragile. (In grad school, our bone lab had casts of all of the major finds, and we spent a lot of time with them.)
