For reasons that would be otiose, at this moment, to rehearse, I recently found myself in need of a hemisected turkey cervical. Happily, I own five skeletonised turkey necks, so it was with me the work of a moment to select a candidate. But now what? How to hemisect it? We have

I was on a video call with Matt, talking about a project he’s working on that involves Haplocanthosaurus . A lot of his recent project involve Haplocanthosaurus which is … an OK sauropod.
