  Sadly? In a perfect world perhaps. But if we had all the answers would the 
study of dinosaurs be as intriguing? The challenges presented by those blank 
spaces is the fun stuff, I think. It gives you room to dream and the impetus 
to seek more.
  Also, Triceratops is a wonderful name. Can we please keep using it? Dan
