I think the real reason may be that dinosaurs even at that early time were walking/running on 2 feet, such as coelophyis, followed later by the tyranOsaurs. And even the 4 legged big herbivourous dinosaurs such as brontosaurus, had a long neck on a big body. This all means that these 2 legged, standing dinosaurs, and huge long necked 4 legged herbiverous dinosaurs could see much farther, owing to standing or long necks on huge bodies - and seeing much farther was a competetive advantage over the low-to-the-ground 4 legged aetosaurs. Being able to see much farher let those dinosaurs see food sources at a greater distance, as well as enemies to avoid. That surely was a big advantage over the aeotsaurs. How could it just be luck? snazzyguy2001@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242881996852098.post-51623071919779046662008-05-29T20:16:00.000-07:002008-05-29T20:16:00.000-07:00Excellent post!Another thought: with virtually eve...Excellent post!<BR/><BR/>Another thought: with virtually every US university library catalog online, it's no problem to request any dissertation or thesis produced in the United States via interlibrary loan. I agree that dissertations and theses should be shared openly (and I will be posting my MS in full online when I get back from the field). But even if one wanted to follow the suggestion about being careful sharing your unpublished thesis, it would be impossible. With UMI submission required for dissertations at most schools and interlibrary loans so easy these days, sharing your dissertation or thesis is unavoidable these days. <BR/><BR/>The internet has fundamentally changed everything, and I suspect some members of the academic old guard have yet to realize this.Sarah Werninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353836189122574164noreply@blogger.com
