Hi fellow DML members,
In a previous post a mentioning was made about a revised
Deinonychus restoration in light of the post by HP Tim Williams and the riggidty
of it's hands. This has made me look into the animals possible behaviour again
and perhaps some extra clues may lie within the ecology of the area the holotype
was found in (it was the Cloverly formation right?) But does someone have any
information about this area about the way it probably was during the
Aptian/Albian? Special interest goes to how numerous were big rocks, mountains
or that sort of structures?
"The Dinosauria" listed it that the formation
represents overbank floodplain deposits reflecting a lowland riparian (?)
enviroment, but does this still hold or has the general idea been changed in the
meantime by more recent research?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rutger Jansma
