Oversized Coelurosaur in Scientific American

[Larry Dunn <majestic_cheese@yahoo.com>]

Greg Erickson authored an article in this month's
(September's) SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN summarizing current
hypos about _T. rex_'s lifestyle.  It's suprisingly
accessible for a S.A. article.

There's a big color painting in it that very obviously
used images of the animatronic "T-rex" from JURASSIC
PARK as its models. 

There's also a related article on _T. rex_ teeth and a
book excerpt from Simpson's THE DECHRONIZATION OF SAM
MAGRUDER, which is, er, kind of hard to briefly
summarize.  Just buy the magazine.

(By the way, one of those damned plastic dinosaur toys
-- a Kaiyodo 1/20th scale "bellowing T. rex" -- jumped
off of the pages of the dinosaur mailing list, where
it sometimes comprises 80% of the posts, and into
S.A., as it's featured in the Simpson excerpt.)

Sorry if someone's mentioned this already.
