paleozoicfish Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I actually got to see that specimen in person, it is quite impressive. It has boney eye-lid covers. The preperator was just cleaning up around the eye sockets when more bone was exposed, it was a bit of a surprise. cheers, -PzF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
