Fused and Vaulted Nasals of Tyrannosaurid Dinosaurs: Implications for Cranial Strength and Feeding Mechanics
Fused and vaulted nasals of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs: Implications for cranial strength and feeding mechanics ERIC SNIVELY, DONALD M. HENDERSON, and DOUG S. PHILLIPS Snively, E., Henderson, D.M., and Phillips, D.S. 2006. Fused and vaulted nasals of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs: Implications for cranial strength and feeding mechanics. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 51 (3): 435–454. Tyrannosaurid theropods display several unusual adaptations of the skulls and teeth. Their nasals are fused and vaulted, suggesting that these elements braced the cranium against high feeding forces. Exceptionally high strengths of maxillary teeth in Tyrannosaurus rex indicate that it could exert relatively greater feeding forces than other tyrannosaurids. Areas and second moments of area of the nasals, calculated from CT cross−sections, show higher nasal strengths for large tyrannosaurids than for Allosaurus fragilis. Cross−sectional geometry of theropod crania reveals high second moments of area in tyrannosaurids, with resulting high strengths in bending and torsion, when compared with the crania of similarly sized theropods. In tyrannosaurids trends of strength increase are positively allomeric and have similar allometric expo− nents, indicating correlated progression towards unusually high strengths of the feeding apparatus. Fused, arched nasals and broad crania of tyrannosaurids are consistent with deep bites that impacted bone and powerful lateral movements of the head for dismembering prey. Key words: Theropoda, Carnosauria, Tyrannosauridae, biomechanics, feeding mechanics, computer modeling, com− puted tomography.

Trouble in Paradise
Trouble in Paradise SEQUENCE A FADE IN NIGHT MED. SHOT DOOR OF A HOUSE A cheap residential district. The house has no architectural character; it is not certain where we are. Near the entrance door is a garbage can, full. A dog is nibbling at some of the garbage. We hear whistling, footsteps. A garbage man comes into the picture. He shoos the dog away. Without pause in whistling, he lifts the garbage can and, followed by camera, goes to the end of the block, which is only a few steps. Now we discover we are in Venice. In the background is a major canal and a typical bridge--romantic background. Gondolas are passing. In the foreground at the sidewalk is the garbage gondola, piled high with garbage. The man dumps his load, leaves the empty can on the sidewalk, gets in the gondola, and paddles away with the grace of a gondolier. Now, in a beautiful tenor voice which is quite a contrast to the garbage, he starts singing a passionate Italian love song. LONG SHOT A GONDOLA Two tourists. Husband and wife. They are in a sentimental embrace. In back is the gondolier. Camera follows gondola a few seconds, coming closer. ANOTHER GONDOLA Camera shoots down. Gondola is covered by a typical little canopy, so that gondolier cannot see the passengers. Camera cuts canopy on one side so that we don't see, at first, who is paddling. In the gondola seat is a woman in evening gown, lots of jewels. She lies in the arms of the gondolier. -

Hunting Flowers: Home and Its Poetic Deceits1 Susan Bradley-Smith I Leaving a Town It Is Important to Go in the Early Morning
Hunting flowers: home and its poetic deceits1 Susan Bradley-Smith i Leaving a town It is important to go In the early morning Pre-dawn light Touches the harbour Between the houses… It is all and alone his Who shoulders his bag And turns towards the bus-station… from ‘Two Silences’, Rosemary Dobson The knowledge of the harbour of still light between the houses, the homes, the places we have left, has its own haunting constancy, and perhaps this grief of leaving is best rendered in poetry. Rosemary Dobson’s ‘Two Silences’2 lends us an image of stealthy and poetic leave- taking, and presents the person leaving home as best doing so in the silence of pre-dawn – as if there is no other proper way. It is the landscape, ultimately, that witnesses the leaving of home, and it is the memory of such landscape that makes us ache when recalling home. Geography owns us, but we too often deceive it. If we believe that we come from ‘country’, is leaving a denial, a betrayal? Is it possible that the costs of such infidelity might be higher for women? When I went to my first big ‘bus station’ – Kingsford Smith International Airport, Sydney – I could not hear the words of farewell and love being spoken to me, so full was my head with the sounds that I believed I would never hear again: high tide at Bronte beach, baby magpies, the gears of the 378 bus struggling to cope with MacPherson Street, climbing up from the Tasman Sea, ‘the ditch’ between Australia and New Zealand, to Bondi Junction. -
1 GEO Geological Collection Late Triassic-Early Jurassic
Alfred Gillett Trust GB2075 / SOMAG GEO Geological Collection (late Triassic-early Jurassic) GEO Geological Collection Late Triassic-early Jurassic Administrative and biographical history / Object history and association The collection of fossils held by the Alfred Gillett Trust was acquired primarily through the efforts of Alfred Gillett and members of the extended Clark family, as well as through connections with the geologist Henry Woodward (1832-1921) and the Natural History Department at the British Museum (later the Natural History Museum). Alfred Gillett (1814-1904) came from an established Somerset Quaker farming family and was the second son of Martha Isaac (1784-1868) and John Gillett (1785-1861), with five brothers and four sisters. John Gillett was born in Somerton, the only son of shopkeeper Joseph and his wife Sarah Gillett. Martha Isaac was the daughter of William Isaac (1747-1814), tanner of Sturminster Newton, and his wife Elizabeth Clark (1753-1789), elder sister of Joseph Clark I (1762-1831). Via this maternal grandmother, Alfred was a cousin once removed of Joseph Clark’s shoemaker sons Cyrus (1801-1866) and James Clark (1811-1906), partners in C & J Clark Ltd. Alfred was doubly related to the Clarks as Cyrus’s and James’ brother Joseph Clark II (1799- 1877) was married to Martha Clothier Gillett (1803-1852), a relation of John Gillett. Alfred’s sister Maria Gillett (1816-1909) was the wife of Thomas Simpson of Manchester (b 1812), who was appointed by Quaker family arbitrators in 1863 to supervise William Stephens Clark’s management of C & J Clark Ltd. (Another sister Ellen married Thomas’s brother William Simpson of Manchester, printer). -

Zeitlos scheinen nicht nur seine Songs zu sein, zeitlos scheint auch die stets mit Hut und Son- nenbrille auftretende Person Lindenberg zu sein. Trotz mancher zwischenzeitlicher Abstürze und Krisen hat es der inzwischen 72-Jährige bislang immer geschafft, mu- sikalisch auf der Höhe zu bleiben. Im großen Interview spricht er in seinem typischen Lindenberg-Sound nicht nur über das gerade erschienene neue Unplugged-Album, sondern auch über sein Engagement gegen Rechts, den Traum von einer friedlichen Welt und den Umgang mit seiner Alkoholsucht. Ab Seite 10. Seit bald acht Jahren führen wir von HEMPELS in der JVA Lübeck eine Schreib- werkstatt für Gefangene durch, ein in dieser Form einmaliges Angebot in Deutschland. Ab Seite 18 veröffentlichen wir neue Texte von Gefangenen. Thema sind diesmal die Träume: Wovon träumen die Schreiber in Haft, wie hilft das nächtliche Kopfkino, die Sicht auf Erlebtes und eigenes Handeln zu verändern? Allen Leserinnen und Lesern, allen Förderern unserer Zeitung wünschen wir ein erfolgreiches Jahr 2019!
