RE: Diablosaurus Query [joke]



I said:
Was "Diablosaurus" by any chance from the region of...HELL CREEK?!?! :-P


To Which Tim Williams said:
:-)

Hey, how do you think _Stygimoloch_, _Stygivenator_ and _Bugenasaura infernalis_ got their >>names?

(For the first two, you have to plumb the depths of classical mythology: River Styx = gateway to >>the Underworld. "Infernalis" is a little more obvious.)


Tim

Lets not forget _Charonosaurus_. It was named after Charon, a character of Greco-Roman mythology who ferried souls across the River Styx into Hades.


Not from Hell Creek, but still a nice chunk of Mythology :-D Ecsept, now I have "Come Sail Away" stuck in my head! :-P
