Re: paleonet John Ostrom

[Judith Harris <harrisj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sorry to hear of John Ostrom's death. He was a wonderful man and  
he did work that set the stage for the revolution in dinosaur  
paleontology. His work on hadrosaur and Triceratops jaw mechanics was  
first rate and a model for anyone studying jaw mechanics. I give  
thanks for his life.
