  Literally, "well-written" or probably, "well-preserved," because of the
preservation of casts of the endocranium in the type braincase.

<_Anchisaurus polyzelus_ (Hitchcock, 1865)>

  Polyzelus was an archon, according to Aristotle and Plutarch, and is
associated with Rhodes. The name Polyzelus translates from _polys_ +
_zelos_, "many jealousies," in Greek. Polyzelus was brother of Heiron, who
conquered parts of Italy and fought with the Etruscans. This is all I can find.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
