    Nice fossil.  I did not know that Hay, well knonw in my world for "Fossil Turtles of North America" also worked on fish from Lebanon.  He got around.

    I agree, Hay was an amazing person and a skilled paleoichthyologist. His curriculum vitae is remarkable. He worked in so many fields - one can only admire that.
