If we are talking about semantics here, please, please, please get one
definition correct and clear. A >reconstruction< is an image of the >skeletal<
remains of an extinct creature. A >restoration< is an image of how that
extinct creature may have appeared in life.  You "reconstruct" what evidence
you have at hand, you "restore" something that was once alive. Please learn
the difference between these terms. I recently had to cancel a contract due to
this problem. W.E.Swinton established these definitions long ago. Dan Varner.
