Re: Not dinosaurs, but damn cool!

I'm not sure what happened - I sent it to the list and cc'd to Mike 
Keesey, but for some reason it has arrived in people's inboxes (mine 
included) as a personal email rather than a bulk mail to the list.  Oh well.

On the subject of the giant squid, Tom Holtz alerted the vrtpaleo list 
of  the link to the relevant paper at Proc Roy Soc.  The pdf is 
downloadable for free.
