Running dinos

   As if I haven't stirred up the mailing list enough....

   For the last several days I've been trying to remember a lecture on
evidence for dino speed.

   There was some mention of muscle attachment points being a clue.
Unfortunately, I can't remember what muscle attachment said about speed.

   Where did theropod muscles attach (relative to hip socket) and why is
this an indication of speed?
