Re: Peloroplites
It is important to note here that "the postcrania" is being treated as a
collective noun in application to *Cedarpelta*, a singular entity, for
which it is permissible to use a singular tense.
Well, it _isn't_ a collective noun, it's a plural (of _postcranium_ --
which, incidentally, is arguably a collective: "all bones except those in
the head"). That's my point.
(And BTW, "singular tense" doesn't compute.)
