Re: Speculative dino species

[Daniel Bensen <dbensen@gotnet.net>]

>>just wondering how other feel about this, depicting species that never
existed (but might have, if given the chance) or even depicting speculative
"missing links" ( something of a misnomer, i know). <<

I love the idea, and even think that HP Greg Paul was a little conservative,
not allowing for much change in the dinosaurs in an additional 65 million years
of evolution (I really like the grass-eating hadrosaurs, by the way).  Another
person who has toyed with the idea is Dougal Dixon (who actually published a
book _New Dinosaurs_ on the subject, with arboreal coelurosaurs, terrestrial
pterosaurs, and giant ammonites).

Are we thinking of a list-wide project, here?  If so, I'm definitely in.
