    Velociraptors don't jog, they pursue.

    By the way, did you ever read
    Boundary
    by Eric Flint (and Ryk E. Spoor)
    3.93 · 1,686 Ratings · 114 Reviews · published 2006 · 7 editions
    Searching for the truth behind an oddly shaped fossil discovered in
    the Arizona desert
    (a Velociraptor - or something similar was killed by manufactured
    projectiles.)

    Ryk E. Spoor was an active poster of this group.
    Is my memory sadly correct that he passed away?

    Yes, loved the series.  Real Space Opera.

    Ryk Spoor is hanging out on facebook when he is not super busy.

    Turns out, it was the Boundry 'co-author' Eric Flint that died.

    from wiki
    "Since both the Grantville Gazette and the Ring of Fire Press had ceased operations shortly after Eric Flint's death in 2022,[3][4][5] the series
    was originally expected to be concluded after manuscripts that had
    already been submitted to Baen prior to Flint's death were published in
    the upcoming year or so.[6] In June 2023, it was announced that a new
    company, Flint's Shards Inc., had signed a contract with Lucille
    Robbins, Eric Flint's widow and heir, to produce a new electronic
    magazine called Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond that was scheduled to be
    released bimonthly on the first day of odd-numbered months ,with Bjorn
    Hasseler as editor-in-chief, starting inSeptember 2023.[7]"

    If you enjoyed the Flint/Spoor collaboration, their book _Fenrir_ will
    be coming out in June. Ryk is posting teasers, links to which can be
    found on his Facebook feed. _Fenrir_ may well be Eric Flint's last book
    to see print. Dammit. The eARC is available at Baen.com.

    (Ah, _Fenrir_ is not a continuation of the _Boundary_ series, nor any
    other. It might be the first book of one, though. Ryk seems to have
    about 30 irons in the fire atm.)
