I would have thought that the issue with Stego as a bench was not the lack of a suitable back-rest (plates, duh) but that people would need to be careful that they didn't fall off its hips or slide down towards the neck.<br /><br />David, I also think that you've possibly marked Bloomington Parks & Recreation a little harshly on their information. I suspect that most municipal departments would've called <i>Dimetrodon</i> a dinosaur and left it at that. Yet we are also told that dinosaurs evolved into birds (ok, they left out the bit about big ones repeatedly going extinct) and, much to my amazement, seem to have a handle on the sauropsids v synapsids lineages.<br /><br />I wouldn't give that many points if this was in the grounds of a museum of natural history but for a bench in Bryan Park, I reckon it's an 8 out of 10.<br /><br />Mark Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197384873600545231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-32767894779344897802014-01-04T04:44:40.492-05:002014-01-04T04:44:40.492-05:00Hmm, that Dimetrodon resembles Charles Knight'...Hmm, that Dimetrodon resembles Charles Knight's Naosaurus: http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111117135210/dinosaurs/images/c/cf/Knights_naosaurus.jpg<br /><br />Does that mean that it is part Stegosaurus, part Dimetrodon and part Edaphosaurus?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394178095047762378noreply@blogger.com
