Re: [dinosaur] Keresdrakon, new pterosaur from Cretaceous of Brazil (free pdf)

The name (_Keresdrakon_) is odd.  It's named after the Keres, the
"deathspirits who personified violent death in Greek mythology and are
associated to doom and/or plunder".  It's a great idea to name a pterosaur
after the Keres - nothing wrong here.  However, "Keres" is plural.  The
singular is "Ker".   "_Keresdrakon_" looks very 'cut-and-paste'.  The name
would perhaps be more appropriately rendered as "Kerdrakon" or
"Kerodrakon".  (Ben - any comments?)
