Both of which are quite bland, with a few eccentricities to liven things up."<br /><br />If you want an eccentric Halstead book, I recommend reading "Deinonychus: The Terrible Claw (Intermediate Books)" ( http://www.amazon.com/Deinonychus-Terrible-Claw-Intermediate-Books/dp/0307637611/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329797523&sr=1-3 ). Irony (E.g. According to Halstead, Deinonychus was both very bird-like & very ectothermic) & anachronism (E.g. According to Halstead, T.rex scavenged Deinonychus kills) galore!Hadiazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805346627826158173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-38258160927884128362012-02-20T22:14:24.682-05:002012-02-20T22:14:24.682-05:00That Protoceratops is adorable.That Protoceratops is adorable.Michael Damboldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141514622593774503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-61049101910296730372012-02-20T19:58:20.941-05:002012-02-20T19:58:20.941-05:00Why, she's merely resting her chin on the rapt...Why, she's merely resting her chin on the raptor's stomach...Nateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869685234493116483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-44046001214863893752012-02-20T19:36:21.205-05:002012-02-20T19:36:21.205-05:00Looks more like that Protoceratops is eating the V...Looks more like that Protoceratops is eating the Velociraptor, maybe Protoceratops was an obligate scavenger as well?Hypnotosovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469293434683944221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-28669711421963080702012-02-20T19:33:06.338-05:002012-02-20T19:33:06.338-05:00Is that the same Halstead of "history and evo...Is that the same Halstead of "history and evolution of DINOSAURS" fame?
