Choking Cryolophosaurus?
I recently read in the latest issue of Prehistoric Times (#28/29; p. 50)
that the type specimen of Cryolophosaurus was found to have several lengths
of prosauropod rib stuck in the throat region and that it was believed to
have choked to death on these. Subsequently, I looked up all the technical
descriptions we have available on this form and found no reference to such a
mode of death. Can anyone substantiate this claim and forward me any
relevant citation(s), technical or popular that state this? Please reply
offline.
Thankyou, Darren Tanke
