Guest N.AL.hunter Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Real nice article. What a way to go, whether you're stuck in tar or mud, it must have been horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely, I think tar would be the worst.. a slow thinking death.. *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Good story; it has the extra dimension of poignancy.

Carl O'Cles Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Kinda odd, i would think that after the first one or two or even twenty got stuck that they would have stopped going out onto the mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl O'Cles Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Unless they were fleeing something? Thats a good possibility. Would have been crazy if they had found the fossil legs of all 25 animals with no upper boddies and large predator footprints all around. Kinda like wac-a-mole except instead of hitting the head with a mallet they were just bitten off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
