I didn't mean a sprawl I meant a bowlegged posture. You can find more information at http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~luisrey/html/isano.htm.
Okay. The head of the femur is indeed in a strange angle to the shaft. IMHO this just means that the pelvis was equally odd, a bit rauisuchian-looking maybe -- someone should find it :-)
there were omnivorous prosauropods, that's right omnivorous prosauropods! Don't believe me?
I didn't say that, I just said that I'd wait for the paper before believing something relatively unusual such as that.
Check this out http://museum.gov.ns.ca/fgm/lab/prosauropod7.html, don't the teeth in the jaw look a little heterodont!
Thanks -- indeed the front teeth are ziphodont and the back teeth phyllodont, so I'll accept this as good evidence for omnivory at the moment.
