And if you get it, could you send it my way as well? I've got a new stegosaur phylogeny if you want it.

PT time frame is more my thing, Zach. :D

Actually, mass extinctions really are.

Kill em. Kill em all. And then see how evolution sorts out the survivors. ;)

LOL! Just remember, in Dougal Dixon's world, two things always remain constant: even if all the vertebrate creatures on Earth went extinct, and arthropods took their place, there will always be a saber-tooth creature, and an ant-eating creature.

ALWAYS.

If there's therapsids, it's highly likely there will be sabre teeth: there was even a therocephalian that did that after the Gorgons got munched in the PTE. While I thought the sabre toothed theropod was kewl, I didn't buy it for a minute.

It /does/ make sense exploit ants though, but not necessarily the way he always does it.
