Re: Gallery and Commentary for Copenhagen Mamenchisaurus

Thanks for the pics of this incredible creature. I am not in the field, in
fact, I am a chiropractor. I am curious as to the positioning of this
dinosaur's neck in these photos. Did it really extend horizontally so, or
was this simply an easier way of assembling and displaying the
Mamenchisaurus? I cannot fathom the forces required to hold the neck in this
position for long periods of time.

Just curious.
