digit Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 It is not often that we see primate material here on the forum. There were many great entries this month but it's hard to compete with a primate. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Thanks all. I was sort of planning to do a whole post on the stuff from this site, but I am actually still working 40 hrs a week, computering and prepping museum fossils at home, so extra time is not as I had thought it might be. (I voted for the string of ichthyosaur verts). Edit: That was a lie. I am not working 40 hrs, but 30, so maybe I will find the time to post more form this site over the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 An exceptional find, @jpc. I can barely thread a needle without puncturing myself, so I cannot even imagine the dexterity and patience required to assemble and glue this diminutive jaw together. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
