Don, I am simply not going to bother engaging with you until you give evidence that you have read and understood Alexander (1985:21-22) and Alexander (1989:30-34), and that you have new evidence that shows how and where Alexander was mistaken. All I am seeing at the moment is your own preconceptions stated as fact. If you've got more than that, great: I am all ears.
And I will not engage you until you have done some reading on the habits of elephants, and the many other animals w/ compact feet commonly observed utilizing swampy areas daily.
But who apparently never read Alexander. And maybe got your butt out in a swamp and made some personal observations.Actually, I think you misapplying Alexander's work. He never said sauropods could not go in or through swamps (iirc) -- he said they did not live there full-time.
No kidding.
