<< The left bottom picture - stegosaurus with allosaurus - the allosaur is
tripedal. Leaning over and supporting itself on hind legs and right arm,
while reaching out with the left.

Very interesting pose. I've never seen a depiction like this and have to
ask how accepted this might be today... >>

       This painting was based on models in the Milwaukee Public Museum back 
in the 40's. If you have the first edition of Glut's _Dinosaur Dictionary_, 
you can see a photo of some of the models (not the pose in question, though). I 
think the pose is highly unlikely if not impossible. It's the dynamism and the 
watercolor technique that made the picture for me. DV
