Boing Boing

With how much force did brachiosauruses vomit?

The answer to the question posed by the headline is about 68,000 Newtons per hurl, assuming 110 pounds of vomit projected from a 45ft height onto packed sand below. That would be more than enough to kill you; indeed, the matter was investigated to determine exactly how the remains of a small dinosaur ended up in a brachiosaurus puke crater.

The diagram is from Dinosaurs Without Bones, a book by Tony Martin.
