I've moved the post in the "Recommended literature" thread.

I request the description paper of Jonkeria.
Google Scholar epically failed me on this one.

I cannot access it, that's the problem. It's paywalled.

Being in a university must be great…

It is, but honestly I don't know why I have access to the paper. I guess it had something to do my library account, but I was neither invited to log in nor should I already be.

I cannot wait to be at university, inexplicable and magical things happen there! Thanks for the paper Derdadort! |

link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00114-014-1173-3#page-1Complex rostral neurovascular system in a giant pliosaur Abstract Pliosaurs were a long-lived, ubiquitous group of Mesozoic marine predators attaining large body sizes (up to 12 m). Despite much being known about their ecology and behaviour, the mechanisms they adopted for prey detection have been poorly investigated and represent a mystery to date. Complex neurovascular systems in many vertebrate rostra have evolved for prey detection. However, information on the occurrence of such systems in fossil taxa is extremely limited because of poor preservation potential. The neurovascular complex from the snout of an exceptionally well-preserved pliosaur from the Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic, c. 170 Myr ago) of Weymouth Bay (Dorset, UK) is described here for the first time. Using computed tomography (CT) scans, the extensive bifurcating neurovascular channels could be traced through the rostrum to both the teeth and the foramina on the dorsal and lateral surface of the snout. The structures on the surface of the skull and the high concentrations of peripheral rami suggest that this could be a sensory system, perhaps similar to crocodile pressure receptors or shark electroreceptors.

Being in a university must be great… Really depends. I studied abroad, and I felt isolated because of it. My fellow students were rather uninteresting so I kept driving back to austria to see my then girlfriend. As a result my marks suffered and I got depressed. Now I am at a different university and I feel pretty good about it. The library appears to be substantially larger as well, which is great. |

Sorry for what happened.
However, I think this is not only restricted to universities, the most common reason for migration is probably the job. These are phases where everyone must prepare for. I really hope I will be able to study in one of the universities in my town.
