Big Theropod Running

["Jordan Mallon" <j_mallon@hotmail.com>]

G'day all,

I was wondering...
With all these papers coming to light on the subject of big theropod speed 
these days (Farlow's analysis comes to mind, along with those of Blanco and 
Mazzetta, R. McNeil Alexander, and Hutchinson and Garcia's most recent), 
which of these are considered to be most accurate?  I understand that 
different approaches have been taken in each case, but are any one of these 
studies considered to be better or more valid than the others?
Just curious.

BTW: there's a great supplement to Hutchinson and Garcia's latest paper in 
Nature here:
