I really appreciated hearing about the musculature and soft-tissue anatomy.<br /><br />Have you seen Duane Nash's "Plesiosaur Machinations" series on Antediluvian Salad? I don't recall if any plesiosaur workers have commented on it, but it certainly got me thinking about plesiosaur diversity, behavior, and bioecology.Bryan Bongeyhttp://panzoa.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653345901774701895.post-48450192542357741552017-02-26T08:14:29.123-08:002017-02-26T08:14:29.123-08:00I for one would like barnacled or seaweed infested...I for one would like barnacled or seaweed infested plesiosaursAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653345901774701895.post-3804220517249986262017-02-24T16:16:25.475-08:002017-02-24T16:16:25.475-08:00Nice article, but some of the references are not i...Nice article, but some of the references are not in the list at the end.<br />It is good to see Mauriciosaurus getting the attention, it is a beautiful specimen.<br />The surface covering on it may have interesting things to say regarding friction and the hydrodynamics of it moving through the water.<br /><br />Not all marine reptiles are completely smooth and you could wonder if some of them ended up colonised with patches of barnacles like whales; also if there were Remora equivalents in the mesozoic and also small fish following along behind them (surely a safer place to be than the front end).<br /><br />LeeB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653345901774701895.post-31323255072193180462017-02-24T13:14:57.066-08:002017-02-24T13:14:57.066-08:00Excellent article, but one minor correction: Radio...Excellent article, but one minor correction: Radio Gaga is the finest Queen song (though I appreciate that it would hard to shoehorn that into the article).gaffamondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397360821807022637noreply@blogger.com
