BTW, let me be the first (I guess, I didn’t read any comments yet) to accuse you of being, in reality, Ted Holden / medved. ;’)

I’ve never found this particular argument to be compelling; it is rooted in the idea that the “bronto”saurus had to wade to allow the water to support some of their weight, then eventually got stuck in the mud, died, fell over, and became fossilized. :’)

Re: poor old bronte in the mud theory.

That was the original thinking of Paleontologists... But Apatosaurus's feet were not adapted for muddy conditions, nor were Ultrasaurus and Seismasaurus or any of the huge Brachiosauri (branch eaters). Their skeletons are those of land walkers. That is the dilemma.
