Re: Predator-trap theory debunked for Utah Allosaurus site

["Steven Coombs" <gasperex@hotmail.com>]

This reminds me of the bonebeds of Dinosaur Provincial Park new evidence 
suggest for what hapened to countless Centrosaurs and including 11 
Albertosaurs, although its not thousands but its still counts. The reason to 
doubt is why did they all die together, well thats a big question, if it was 
a pack or herd and it must have been for DPP, becuse the numbers seem more 
dissent, a thousand Allosaurs is not good for lumbering Apatosaurs etc.

But, what happened in Alberta is that there may have been a flood (Interior 
Seaway flooded the big deltas along the western coast of NA), and they also 
thinking that they did not migrate from North or South, but from East to 
West, escaping form the floods in the East. Jordan, I wonder if you seen 
this on @discovery.ca, they showed David Eberth talk about the two bonebeds?

But, I think it would be strange to find a thousand Allosaurs in a given 
area.
