Re: thanks for tracks & a question
Thoughtful question (below), but I would be
surprised to learn that Sauropod slimness eliminates the possibility of a
"digestive vat". Could we have an opinion from any Sauropod
expert(s) lurking out there?

P.S.:
I (R.S.)had earlier said: "Perhaps anyone using Sauropod models in
volumetric displacement studies to facilitate calculations of body weight, had
better use the newest
slim-bodied versions, to avoid seriously
over-estimating Sauropod tonnage."
"Philodor 11"
wondered: "From Heresies, I thought a wide body went with gastroliths
in indicating a digestive strategy? Does a thinner sauropod contradict the
idea of a
digestive vat?"
