Dear colleagues, I am made weary by those marketers of plastic dinosaurs and other such trinkets who include in their sets of dinosaurs such critters as Dimetrodon, ichythyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs. Maybe it is not too bad for the mosasaurs to be omitted from TV programs on dinosaurs, but it would be super to have a program on the other, nondinosaurian, marine and flying reptiles. Just for the record, the ostracodes-my favorite group-were omitted from the dinosaurs show, too, Absolutely no mention was made of that scourge of the seaways Henryhowella tenmilecreekensis and its hypothetical sibling species H. rex. What is this world coming to, where is it going, and what's with the hand basket? Best wishes, Roger Roger L.
