Was recently argued that _Carnotaurus_ was prokinetic (Mazzetta 
2000 - poster and abstract presented at 48th SVPCA). As noted, this 
does seem doubtful however.

'Live from Dinosaur Island' the BBC project starts this Sunday, I think 
at 19-00. Digs can be watched live on the web at 
www.bbc.co.uk/dinosaurs
I'll be wearing a red Sonic the hedgehog hat.

We'll be digging at the _Neovenator_, _Eotyrannus_ and new 
brachiosaur sites for new material. Also exposing the WHOLE 
Hypsilophodon bed for the first time in history. Wish us luck, we'll 
need it.
