[PSUBS-MAILIST] I found a reference to a biological propulsion method

Mike,
If you go to Youtube and search for "Anomalocaris" you'll find  a number of 
videos.  A couple of years ago there were several posts on  mechanical fish 
or robofish.  I don't recall the threads, but those are  easy to find on 
Youtube also.  Caltech has a Biological Propulsion  Laboratory.

In the section  "Anatomy," there are two (or maybe three) references that 
report that the  side fins on the animal is an inherently stable 
propulsion  technique.  I don't seem to have access to the full texts but 
one  comment is that mechanical model was made and  tested.
