which reminds me of a message from the dinosaur list archives:

http://www.cmnh.org/fun/dinosaur-archive/1995Feb/0093.html

In that message, Ken Carpenter wrote of George's attempts to revise

Saizensen:

I'll leave the question of whether or not Mesozoic Meanderings is
"widely known" as an exercise for the reader.
