And let this bone not be in a channel deposit (which is much to ask for for a 
single Xmas...), and actually articulated, no just "pretty near-by". Or the 
following is likely untrue:

Which might be the accuracy of magnetostratigraphy -- is it chron 29N, or is 
it 30N...

The date of 65.5 Ma for the K-T boundary is news to me. However, there is a 
method (K-Ar?) that produces 65.2 rather than the 64.98 +- 0.05 which are 
what U-Pb in zircons says.
