Re: Oh come ON (was: More Philly dino news)
No need to worry. I'd hate to piss anyone off or rain on their parade, but
Urinator is either preoccupied or a nomen vanum or some damn thing. The
Common Loon or Northern Diver was formerly Urinator immer before the genus
was changed to Gavia.
Voiding the bladder is a well-known method of discovery. I've heard many
such stories including one of my own when I found a beautiful skull of the
early dog, Daphoenus, in the Brule of North Dakota. It's a fine time to relax
and survey the landscape. Not recommended for excavation, however. With
heartfelt apologies, Dan Varner.
