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
