RE: Hadrosaurs outgrew tyrannosaurs

[john hunt <john.bass@ntlworld.com>]

While this is all good stuff on growth rates I don't really understand why
such significance is placed on hadrosaurs outgrowing tyrannosaurs.  There
were always going to be younger hadrosaurs smaller then the tyrannosaurs -
its not like they were only allowed to eats dinosaurs the same age ;-)
