As you said, maybe we had bite marks of multiple different sizes.
Now that on its own, it comes hard because obviously scavenging, you know, tyrannosaurs are an exception.
Most dinosaurs, most carnivorous dinosaurs have pretty similarly shaped teeth.
So how easy is it to tell
An adult from a juvenile from an adult from a different species that's just a bit smaller.
Probably pretty tricky.
I mean, for me, I think the kind of gold standard, which I don't think we're ever going to find, but you never know.
You could, in theory, get a trackway of something like a herbivore with a whole bunch of carnivore tracks coming in.
We do have a couple like this, but they don't have what I'd really want to see, which is if you trace the footprints of the individual carnivores and if A's in early on A's footprint go on top of B's, but later on B's go on top of A's, they must have been there at the same time because there's no way.
they could have been even minutes or hours apart.
So if you had that, then those two must be together, or at least within sight of each other, and one's not turning around and roaring or having a fight.
If you can do that with seven or eight, all converging on one herbivore, and then everything goes manic...
Well, that's really pretty convincing.
I am a bit of a Sherlock Holmes fan.
and he references Cuvier.
So Cuvier was this legendary French anatomist, Baron Cuvier.
He was the first guy to posit that things went extinct working on mammoths.
And he said, well, there's nothing like this alive today, so extinction happens.
Which before that, we didn't really know.
And Holmes has a line about just as Cuvier can restore an animal from the smallest bone, so I can restore the events from the smallest detail.
