and definitely a sauropod. I remember the logic and evidence I used to reach each of those conclusions; I remember the certainty I felt in each one of those states; I remember the confidence that certainty gave me. But I think now that it was false confidence. I’m happy with the work...
It’s a decent bet that primitive dinosaurs such asSaturnaliaretained the ancestral condition, and became progressively less flamboyant through ontogeny, whereas bird-like raptors such as our old buddyVelociraptorassumed their most colourful plumage later in life. But what about sauropods? I’m not ...

Combined with Parker’s penchant for bright light and stark shadows, the work had a documentary-like air of reality, like ...
