RE: Acrocanthosaurus atokensis locomotion
I wrote:
Weren't the Texas trackways in Farlow's 1981 analysis attributable to
_Acrocanthosaurus_?
The ref:
Farlow, J. O. 1981. Estimates of dinosaur speeds from a new trackway
>site in Texas. Nature 294: 747-748.
Correction: I double checked this today, and as it turns out, Farlow makes
no mention as to what might have made those tracks. Speed estimates in this
paper range from 1.8 - 12.1 m/s, using Alexander's old equation.
Just clearing up any confusion.
