I did get the jab at Lucky Feducciano and his banditos but I thought there was also some splash damage for Dinosaur Doug.<br /><br />I recall that George Olshevsky (back in the '80s/'90s) also thought that <i>Longisquama</i> was an early archosaur (and possibly dinosaur), and that it was one of the first stages on the evolutionary path to birds, but has never formally published on this. Does anyone know if he still holds this view?Mark Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197384873600545231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-29832746488825338602012-10-25T08:12:22.360-04:002012-10-25T08:12:22.360-04:00'Like'. ;)'Like'. ;)Nateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869685234493116483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-5568163749689019562012-10-25T07:32:22.145-04:002012-10-25T07:32:22.145-04:00I wasn't really intending to take aim at him -...I wasn't really intending to take aim at him - I mean, he's changed his views since.

I will now not be able to see anything other than a <i>Lystrosaurus</i> head whenever I see Rupert Murdoch on TV.<br /><br />I can't believe that I'm going to stick up for Dougie the Dixter (or whatever we're calling him now) but wasn't the idea that the pennaceous elements on <i>Longisquama</i> might represent an early stage in the formation of feathers, something that was still being seriously considered by at least some palaeontologists when this book was written?Mark Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197384873600545231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-81885764682821190312012-10-24T21:10:44.332-04:002012-10-24T21:10:44.332-04:00Laughed so much during this one.
