Hi dear dino-list members,
For _Postosuchus_, what's the most likely
currently? A quadrupedal posture like in WWD or a semi-bipedal posture like in
Doug Henderson's
Thanks in advance, friendly - Luc J. "Aspidel"

The
WWD Postosuchus was based on more recent research by Murray & Long,
which suggests a more typical quadrupedal habit for this critter. Their
contention was that Chatterjee's bipedal Postosuchus was a chimera of
different taxa.
