There is a recent paper by Paul Barrett on prosauropod diets.  I don't have
the ref handy, but will post it later.  Paul essentially believes that
prosauropods may have been omnivorous, but I forget the exact details of his
argument off-hand.  Will post back later.<<

Well, it's in arms reach of me. Haven't had time to do anything with the
volume yet.
