[dinosaur] Submerged sauropods

Good day to all listmembers,




I would like to ask what is the general current opinion on the hypothesis 
that sauropods could not submerge themselves completely under water (except 
for their heads), as it would definitely kill them - because of the 
hydrostatic pressure. Is it possible that despite this argumentation, some 
sauropods could enter the water "up to their shoulders" for at least some 
time? Thank you in advance! Tom
