I take the point that we probably haven't found the fossils of the biggest individuals ever, and "Corla" is apparently supposed to be one of those absolute-max individuals, but 18 tons seems too much even for that.<br /><br />-the "new moon" confusion bit at the end seemed totally forced to add an extra twist when the book should simply have been overhourslipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538303549650555935noreply@blogger.com
