        For those of us wtill feeling sorry for ourselves because we
couldn't go to SVP (anyone who knows where '97 is, please e-mail me
personally), would you (Dr. Holtz) kindly repeat your earlier courtesy and
elaborate on the specimen shown by Milner, if this is at all possible?

        This sounds like a job for the...
        CLADISITIC ASSASSIN!

        Ummm... do you suppose it's time for all of us to rub
_Giganotosaurus_ off the number one spot in the Top Ten Heaviest Terrestrial
Carnivores of all Time list?  Calvinosaurus Wattersoni indeed!
