Thanks -- actually in the published thesis, Holliday, Witmer, Rybczynski, Ostom and Heaton are all referenced. This model however was developed to propose an alternate theory for the unique tooth wear patterns, based on work by Weishampel and Fastovsky... and Cuthbertson. :)
Your presentation is cool, and I'm sure it's hard work to have produced this video, but please do not assume others have not considered the literature or hands on time with the vertebrate skull.
When this specimen was discovered the bones of the palate were missing. Yes, we could have recreated the palate by referencing other hadrosauroid skulls to model a replacement palate, but for the scope (and time restraints) of this study, that simply was not feasible. I realize that this model is still controversial in some arenas and challenged by theories of simple forward-back motion of the dentary bones etc, but I'd recommend reading work by Weishampel as well. Thanks for your comments.
What bothers me is that the palate would have constrains the motion of the maxilla as you've reconstructed.
I've read Weishampel's work. But that doesn't address the problems brought up by other researchers. Is your thesis published or (alternatively) available online?
Actually, work by Dr. David B. Weishampel, recognized authority and expert on evolutionary biomechanics and hadrosauroid mastication supports this model. Perhaps you should do your research...

Dont forget this one by Rybczynski et al. in 2006!

Why does your model omit the palate?

It's too bad many of the cranial joints in the skull that are highlighted in the pleurokinetic model don't actually work that way. :P
