"Neoceratodus africanus_ - why not?  (I'm not familiar with this
critter - e.g. just how big was it?)"

IIRC, those suckers were something like 9-12 feet long and a couple
hundred pounds in weight. Quite a respectable source of protein for a
big predator.

Incidentally, is that spinosaur paper basically saying that that they
were like herons from hell? That's the impression I got.
