"People talk about how carnosaurs are geared towards hunting sauropods, but how would they do so?
I always depict them going for the neck and tail to quickly disable them, or burrowing their heads into the sides and cloacae to start feasting on the good bits early (like hyenas and petrels) Anybody else got some ideas? Perhaps (non apatosaurine) sauropods would defend themselves by stomping the toes of carnosaurs tearing into their sides, and whipping ones that try to get into their cloacae. Obviously apatosaurines had brontosmashing to crush those coming for the base of the neck.
Perhaps the carnosaurs had some kind of counter to these defenses? Assuming mob mentality (not quite a pack, not quite just chance groupings) they could send out some to distract them before a horde of archosaurian teeth and claws come tearing into their juiciest bits Think hyena\crocodile\petrel


Now when people come on in a couple hours their minds will be assaulted by the imagery of hyenatreldiles ripping the guts out of legsnakes through their anuses"

Because I'm to lazy to rewrite all of this, so I copied a series of messages I typed into the PaleoPack skype group at 3 in the morning

I personally think they they did all of the above and just slashed and hacked the poor sauropods to death.
