Big fan here! Of both of you guys. Dr. Bakker you have been on of my idols and made my go into geology as a major and paleontology as a minor. Here are some questions, hope you have time to answer!

Dr. Bakker

  1. Do you still subscribe to the theory of disease causing the wide spread extinction in dinosaurs?

  2. Did you ever get that Dimetrodon you wanted for the museum?

  3. Do we have enough data now to know which dinosaurs survived extinction the longest?

  4. How do you feel about the recent discovery of "fossilized dinosaur blood"? And how might it change what we know about dinosaurs as a whole?

Mr. Mossbrucker

  1. How was it disecting a fake T.Rex? (BTW loved the show)

  2. I know you're a Stego man. How much does it bother you when the thagomizer is presented vertically rather than horizontally?

Thank you Matthew, for answering. I guess I wasn't caught up on the "thag" knowledge. That is good to know though.

One more question (or two) if you've got the time. What did they base the internal organs of the T.Rex off of? Also was everything proportional to real skeletons?

and also, thank you as well for doing this AMA!

Seven! That's fantastic. I read Raptor Red when I was a child and that really set me on my path. So thank you for that, and thank you for doing this AMA!

Awesome thank you, you ever watch "Dinosaur 13"? Very sad, but like Peter said, "It's a great story if you didn't have to live it."
