Hi Tim,

First off let me apologize for being so late to reply to you. I had not checked my email in a couplke of days and to top things off, I nasty virus ran through my family (and me) such that only now do I even feel up to reading email and have mcuh to catch up on!

Steve Hasiotis (hasiotis@ku.edu) and Tony Martin (geoam@learnlink.emory.edu)
described vertebrate traces from the Triassic Chinle Formation in Arizona
which they attributed to phytosaur behavior. Phytosaurs were kinda like
giant Triassic crocs from hell. You might try one or both of those guys,
since they must have done some background literature searching to come up
with their interpretation.

Thanks for the above and I will check with the individuals. I did locate one on line MS thesis dealing with the Florida Everglades gators. If you are interested I can send you the URL.

Thanks again!

Tom
