Then I'm screwed, really screwed, and I have to rewrite those damn 
scenes-- heading into 4th draft! 

Anybody can write dinosaur FANTASY and many do. The trick is to set a 
fictional plot there yet not fake the dinosaurs-- but a famous species 
evaporates after three drafts?? 

The Dravidosaur was in every last reference I checked, I banked on it. 
--Do you happen to have the citation for that paper? (I believe you, 
George, but let me read the bad news for myself.)

I wonder if I've set the bar too high for a novelist.
