Re: Raptor Red and Heyday Of The Giants
To quote from the piece: "Curiously out of place are the unnamed
diplodocid
(at least Bakker now
recognizes that they did make it into the Cretaceous),"
Another quote:
"Bakker is apparently unaware (or chooses to ignore) the abundant evidence
that ammonoids did not have muscular tentacles nor a biting mouth, but
instead a fringe of small tentacles and an aptychus for filtration and
protection"
I have no idea about the tentacles. But ammonoids did have upper jaws. The
paleontologist-in-chief of the museum here is one of the people who have
found some, starting a few years ago.
