Scylla Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Dr Krause does it again. Another mammal from the Cretaceous of Madagascar. Named the "crazy beast" in hybrid Malagasy and Greek. Also named after a colleague who passed away. Weird reading about people you've worked with and met. My wife did unrelated research with Dr. Hu too. Don't get fooled by the picture at the top of the page, it is from a gallery of extinct creatures https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/18/world/crazy-beast-fossil-mammal-scn-trnd/index.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
