Carnotaurus sastrei etymology
By the way, the name mentioned for the etymology of
C.sastrei was "Pocho", which is not a real name. the
name of the farm owner is Angel, Don Angel Sastre, and
the son is Anselmo (Pocho). So I think it is proper to
say to the family Sastre, from Chubut, Argentina.
I know, just a detail but, what is life but a detail
on the earth surface.
(Enough drinking of "mahte" for this morning!)
