Several people have posed to me the following question:
"Where did Meyerson's "probably" come from? Does he have evidence that
ankylosaurs were actually plocking one another with their tails? Backing
up to one another and whacking? Permitting one another to back up to
them and whack?"
Of course, I didn't know, so I pass this ankylosaurian buck to the
group.
Many thanks.
