Hey, not fair! I was gonna say Dryosaurus! ;D Still gonna say Dryosaurus...and that Mr. T-bone didn't exist...never heard of that one, but I've heard of all three others. Yes, I remember that Triathalon. I was in it was well. I just can't remember what the name of the museum is called. I thought you were, but I can't seem to find your entry. [[500414951214]][[500414944696]][[500414946836]] There they are.

Well, you could always try a more obscure question if your goal is to stump us.

Well, it doesn't look like Tooth is gonna guess.
#5: It's a trick question. No museum houses the bones of Rhabdopelix-- Cope lost them!

Ah, very tricky my friend.
#7: Name at least three genus of elasmosaur.
I thought of a second one too, but I'll wait until somebody gets it or you all give up before posting it, as the rules say.

Um...Elasmosaurus copei is one, if I remember correctly, and I can't recall any others. What defines an elasmosaur from any other plesiosaur?

Plesiosaurs are more primitive, and also older. They had shorter necks and the flippers were of a slightly different shape as well. Elesmosaurs are larger, have a slightly different flipper design, a bigger body, and their neck is considerably larger in proportion.

Hint: I guessed one as the answer to a previous question. Hint: If you have seen Nat Geo's Sea Monsters: a Prehistoric Adventure, you might be able to name a third.

Well, then I'll guess Thalassomedon.

Correct. That's two out of three.

Correct. And with that, the question is closed and you both get half a point.
#8: Which two genus both have the same meaning of their names, even though they are spelled differently?
