Uh-huh, and thanks (and to Dan Bensen too).  Though I should have expressed 
this question a little better - actually, I was not so much after a 
definition of "pathologic".  I was wondering if anyone knew what the 
specific "pathologic" characters are in the _Adasaurus_ skeleton.  Does it 
show fractures, disease, bite-marks, etc?  If it's from an elderly 
individual, it may show the re-healed fractures and signs of disease.  
Anyone know?
