Sure. Reasonable. We are dealing with herbivore versus carnivore and as pointed out above, we are early in the process of examining the sample.
Personally, I wish the folk writing articles stuck with what they really know, but then I didn't write the article.
Who knows, maybe what the author heard was the folk talking about the weight of the sample itself. Maybe even including the plaster cast.
