A (secondarily) non-pleurokinetic skull.


Ah thanks, David. It would have made more sense phrased as "indicative of a reversal to a non-pleurokinetic skull", IMHO.

Great to see *Fukuisaurus* published TEN YEARS after the name first
cropped up (in a great big Lambert book).

Funny that I, still 20 years old, can say already say "I have waited for
ten years"... or "for half of my life"... :-)


hehe, I've been waiting for more than half my life. ;-)
