questions on tetanurines & etymology
What characters show that Baryonyx and Spinosaurus (etc.) should be
united into Spinosauridae?
How strong is the grouping of Acrocanthosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and
Carcharodontosaurus into Carcharodontosauridae?
I have a posting by Holtz (10/24/96; 9:12am) discussing these questions,
at which time they did not seem well resolved.
Also, two quickies on etymology (sorry, but my library stinks):
Does anyone know the etymology for Kronosaurus; "krono-" is the problem.
Does any one know about Haramiya and Haramiyidae? (oops--a mammal!)
Thanks in advance.
