She is an anthropologist (I think) who has put alot of thought into how fossils would have played into the mind-set of "primitive" humans. For example, she has advanced the contention that myths of the Griffen are based on the horned dinosaur skeletons that literally littler the landscape in parts of Asia. Well, she has pointed out (in messages to the dinosaur mailing list) that this creature looks very much like the "water monster" drawings of certain indian tribes, and wonders whether the drawings may have been based on interactions with the fossils. She even has pictures of these drawings. Loren, have you heard of Adrienne Mayer?
