Neat! The only restorations that show this "fern prairie" effectively (that I 
know of) are Brian Franczak's painting of Kentrosaurus in Glut's original 
_Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia_, 1997, pg. 518 and a number of Zallinger's 
restorations (_Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Reptiles_, 1960, pg. 82, for 
example). 
Surely do miss Brian's artistic input. DV
