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.
