This brings up an interesting question: Is is possible that an isolated=
group of plesiosaurs survived to today? Granted, there is no evidence to=
support the idea, but isn't negative evidence the worst kind? Is it=

didn't favor fossilization? As a theory, the modern plesiosaurs could be=
as different from their Mesozoic ancestors as birds are to theirs. Any=
comments (I know you have them;-).
