Wow! I learned a new word. Thanks!

That all sounds very reasonable.
I wish I knew more about the evolution of digestion.
I assume dinosaurs were similar to reptiles and birds, with primitive cloacae.

I still wonder about the soils, and the effects of (the evolution of) digestion (or its products)
on the soil's growth and development; its evolution.

Pyrolysis creates reduced carbon! ...Time for the next step in our evolutionary symbiosis with fire.
