Opisthocoelicaudia is a genus of sauropod dinosaur of the Late Cretaceous Period discovered in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.
 The only species is Opisthocoelicaudia skarzynskii.
 A well-preserved skeleton lacking only the head and neck was unearthed in 1965 by Polish and Mongolian scientists, making "Opisthocoelicaudia" one of the best known sauropods from the Late Cretaceous.
 Tooth marks on this skeleton indicate that large carnivorous dinosaurs had fed on the carcass and possibly had carried away the now-missing parts.
 To date, only two additional, much less complete specimens are known, including a part of a shoulder and a fragmentary tail.
 A relatively small sauropod, "Opisthocoelicaudia" measured about 11.4 m in length.
 Like other sauropods, it would have been characterised by a small head sitting on a very long neck and a barrel shaped trunk carried by four column-like legs.
 The name "Opisthocoelicaudia" means "posterior cavity tail", alluding to the unusual, opisthocoel condition of the anterior tail vertebrae that were concave on their posterior sides.
 This and other skeletal features lead researchers to propose that "Opisthocoelicaudia" was able to rear on its hindlegs.
James Harrison (December 11, 1937 – March 26, 2016) was an American writer known for his poetry, fiction, reviews, essays about the outdoors, and writings about food.

 He has been called "a force of nature", and his work has been compared to that of William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway.
 Harrison's characters tend to be rural by birth and to have retained some qualities of their agrarian pioneer heritage which explains their sense of rugged intelligence and common sense.
 They attune themselves to both the natural and the civilized world, surrounded by excesses but determined to live their lives as well as possible.
