Long Snouted Daspletosaurs and Carnotaurus



        On the subject of the Long-Snouted-Daspletosaurus, which we
have heard so very little about so many times: an animal that appears
to fit that definition (it's labeled as Daspletosaurus and looks like
it has a kind of long, low snout) is illustrated by Bakker on pg 101
of Psihoyos and Knoebber's _Hunting Dinosaurs_.
        And on page 164 is Carnotaurus, with a nice shot from the
forward, and it _definitely_ has the hands with the palm surface
outwards. One shouldn't be too quick to rule out a serious flaw in the
reconstruction, however, if the authors' description o Bonaparte's
techniques are to be believed.
