Bonehunter Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 WOW!!!!! FANTASTIC ALL!!.....and here I thought it was ocean in origin-makes it cooler it was land/marsh based and from what I am seeing, lasted millions of years- through the reptiles?....if you've seen some of my threads, I am revisiting my 12 year old "kids museum" and relabeling nearly all of what I "thought" I found, then select pieces I am placing in shadow box dioramas with the "find"........pretty dang cool!!....
