... well certainly! Hawai'i has never had crocs or sirenians around it's shores. AFAIK, Spec has no truly oceanic crocs (and even if it did, they would be too...
... Not bad so far. ... dang, you've been reading my mind practically! ... err... ... Well, we've got how many flighted tetrapods in Spec? Birds, pterosaurs,...
... Though I made several grammatical errors, and I forgot to suggest the existence of pristichampsids (though I already did so in my mediterranean megafauna...
... Hey all, I'm back! Been super busy with house remodeling and baby coming. Should have more time for Spec again. Looks good. The only real difference is...
... I vote for everything but the surviving Hadrosaurs and Ceratopsians. Well, the Pachamas are iffy, but everything small ought to be fluffy, as otherwise it...
... I don't recall doing that. I had an Iberian gihugrongo, but I'm fairly sure it will have to be bobunked now. I'd have to go back and look at climate maps...
... Only because the possibility of it being a chimera is actually very high - the fossil remains are in close association, but the highly-avian arm wasn't...
... You once said that most minimokeles could be replaced by dwarf sauropods with down. Thus, I went along with that suggestion, partially because I think we...
... Agreed. ... Nope. Too little space with the right temperatures. ... Good idea!...

How many clades do we have in Spec besides p-Sphenodon on New Zealand and possibly Australia? I remember the scavenging australian forms, but are there any...
After trying with choristoderes I felt that I should make an attempt at another of my favourite reptile groups. ... Sphenodontida is an ancient group of...
Carlos's recent post got me thinking (I had a long-reply which got eaten, need to rewrite)...we need to make some sense of Spec's Crocodylomorpha. Here's a...
... I most certainly never said that! Making titanosaurs fuzzy is a horrible idea. We know that at least some species were scaly straight out of the egg, so...
AFAIK notosuchians aren't much of a problem; just decide how to name the clades of the south american omnivores and wolfcrocs and everything will be fine. ...
... Well, we still need a tree somewhere on the Spec page showing the interrelationships between the various clades. Wolfcrocs will probably be Peirosauridae...
... I suggested eons ago for notosuchids to become dominant predators on Eurasia, probably at the expense of native tyrannosaurs, and likely the african hyena...
... Isolated goniopholidid teeth are very easy to recognize: they have a smooth, unserrated cutting edge on both sides. So, apparently, even though they were ...
