    So was I, for a long time, but Lehman wore me down on the TMM parietal.
In all fairness, it isn't really fantastic stuff, but to my eye the parietal
resembles Torosaurus a whole bunch. The horn core... well... Anyway, I'll
defer to your judgement on that one.

    BTW: There is more from the Javelina, but it isn't cranial so no one
cares.
