I thought they are not related to modern sea snakes at all? One of them, iirc, is even a relative of the harmless elephant trunk snake.

That's unclear.

I'm going to assume that they weren't venemous, but until we have better studies on their relations it's a possibility that they were.

sorry Incinerox :(

if it is any consolation, edmontosaurus was still 15 meters....(the same size as shantungosaurus if not a little bigger)

Any hadrosaur would still look absolutely huge to a human who saw it alive, I'm sure.

Well except maybe the dwarf ones like Telmatosaurus and Tethyshadros, but even they'd be on the larger side of the present-day mammal scale.

Especially when they rear up on hind legs.... Just imagine one doing that right in front of you...

Well, if we're posting facts and stuff, a head comb is not required on E. annectens. Only one specimen of E. regalis has been found with one.

Would unenlagiines only eat fish, or would they also eat other dinosaurs?

Modern herons sometimes eat amphibians and water rats, even going after land based animals like moles, and field mice so I see no reason why these dromaeosaurids wouldn't do the same with smaller dinosaurs

Duane Nash and Antediluvian Salad. I love to read that blog, it makes a lot of sense to me and it focuses on a lot of stuff that many palaeontologists don't pay much attention to, like behaviours, soft tissue, ecology, etc. What I want to know is, how trustworthy is it? I know that Nash doesn't publish peer-reviewed papers, so if I read something on AS how sure can I be that it is generally accurate and correct pertaining to extinct life?

I don't think I've seen the blog (unless I know it under another name or something, my 6am brain does not think straight). Got a link?

Lots of good stuff- Plesiosaur physiology, social behaviour and ecology, Ziphodont theropod jaw mechanics, and some posts on Spinosaurus locomotion and terrestrial capabilities.

He can be a bit overenthusiastic at times and I deffinitivelly frown upon his rather mean and agressive demeanor towards other paleo bloggers (mainly Brian Switek). He sure does his research though and a lot of his theories deserve quite a lot of merit, too bad he is opposed to writting scientific literature to an academic level.

He also got WAY too worked up about Jurassic World IMO, even compared to other paleo-bloggers.
