Auspex Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I like that the article refers to the data not as a proof, but as a new metric to test the circumstantial conclusions of the competing studies.

Mexx Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 During the whole article I thought about the possibility to measure a small dino to sort out the gigantotherm concept, at the end they mention it. I wonder why this was not included directly in this article. It is the science journal after all... Salami tactics or confliciting data? The concept of "clumped isotope thermometry" is amazing though and for sure a giant leap in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
