Well, not directly linked to this topic but:
If we order to two paleoartists to make a scientific illustration based on the same specimen and using the same simple technique - say line drawing -, what is the chance that we get two very similar figures? (I am thinking of legal issue due to copyrights in that hypothetical situation.)

One of my students this semester in History of Paleontology Illustration0 wrote his term paper on the murals. He commented on the fact that the time scale was "backward" as well. It seems to me that one might just as easily travel "forward" or "backward" in time. I suspect it has to do with the arrangement of space in the room, although I don't know that for a fact. Jane D.
