PT: your opinion please
I just received the latest issue of Prehistoric Times magazine
(issue No. 23), and have two questions based on sculptures
unveiled in this issue:
1) the Estemmosuchus on the first page has much longer
horizontal skull protrusions than I've ever seen illustrated,
which means that they are incredibly long. If you have the issue,
please comment on the accuracy of this; if not, exactly how
outrageous were those things anyway?
2) Keith Strasser of Dragon Inc. has crafted a mean-looking
tyrannosaur (yes, what an neglected subject!) in an unusual
attack pose: it is crouching down so low to the ground that the
"elbows" of it's teeny forelimbs are touching the ground, but its
head is held up with mouth (of course) opened. Was it physically
possible for a tyrannosaur to crouch down so low, then (presumably)
pop up and take one of those little nips at a hadrosaur (which we all
know T. rex was *perfectly* capable of preying on <g>)? It looks
great, but at the same time something seems vaguely 'wrong' about it.
Any opinions (except those concerning my parentage) greatly
appreciated --
Larry
