Re: John Bois on Armadillos at the K/T!

    The apology is appreciated, John.

    Hope you weren't too close for comfort the other day when the College
Park tornado passed.  I was half a mile away and for a while it sounded like
a herd of sauropods ('Brontosaurus', or 'thunder lizards) thundering across
College Park, south-to-north, right up U.S. Route 1.

    So much damage!   I was glad to hear Tom Holtz was unscathed.

Ray, I apologize for making this mistake.  It wasn't intentional.  I was
not trying to slide anything through.  I simply slipped in putting the
usual qualifiers in.  I know very well what is and isn't known about thios

careful with my students, to tell them what is and isn't known.
