Re: Biggest Bloopers in Vert Paleo?

[Stan Friesen <swf@ElSegundoCA.ATTGIS.COM>]

I do not know about the biggest bloopers, but I do know of one
or two errors that *sound* silly, even if they are not really
that bad.

For instance, a fossil pig's tooth was once misidentified as
a fossil hominid.  But this is not as bad as it sounds: pigs
and humans have very similar diets, and thus have convergently
similar teeth.  Thus the error is very understandable.
