One wonders if this reflects an actual explosion in diversity (back in the Jurassic) or we just haven't been as lucky with other groups.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263627811460351196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519292617097628087.post-76934067001966209272011-05-10T03:19:41.661-07:002011-05-10T03:19:41.661-07:00I didnt mean to be mean, it just that i was a bit ...I didnt mean to be mean, it just that i was a bit confused when i saw the abstract on informaworld (i dont unfortunately have access to anything) and spent almost 30 minutes looking for the "supposed type" species of Arcusaurus in internet, just for realizing it doesnt existFabriziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970403972342514144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519292617097628087.post-33944644442224999662011-05-10T03:13:47.748-07:002011-05-10T03:13:47.748-07:00Oops, dammit you are right, how did THAT slip by? ...Oops, dammit you are right, how did THAT slip by?
