Real nice article. What a way to go, whether you're stuck in tar or mud, it must have been horrible.

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

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.
