overview for FlyingSquid

I have read the study. It says that it was either predation or scavenging and gives reasons why. It also explains why the mammal would be the one being the aggressor. It does not suggest in any place in that study what you suggested. This is what you said:

The simplest explanation was the mammal was on defense

Please show where the paper agrees with that supposed simplest explanation.

There was a study. Or did you ignore that?

It was even linked to in the article.

That's not true at all. Wolves and lions constantly take on prey much bigger than them. And the dinosaur was an herbivore. Why would it be the aggressor?

I think I'll go with what the paleontologists who have had a chance to study the fossil have to say over someone who viewed a picture on the internet and came to their own conclusion that goes against the paleontologists.

Why is that the simplest explanation?

I had this dream once of operating an early electric style studio. Not pre-electric like the first phonographs (one studio actually had a rope going into a well to spin the cylinder!) but all 1930s-era technology and recorded straight to disc. I think some musicians could really go for it. But I never did it.

Also, I am stunned that, within my lifetime, we have gone from being able to store 30 minutes of audio on one side of a vinyl disc, to over an hour on a CD to hundreds of hours on an MP3 player, to unlimited streaming almost anywhere in the world today.

I always thought the Videodisk (and Phonovision for that matter) was such a cool idea. Use the same thing as what you're already using to record music. No need to reinvent the wheel. It's nice and efficient. Sadly, the former never caught on and the latter was just experimental.
