Ludwigia Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 This is great, mamlambo, but I think nevertheless that both fossils should have won this time around. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamlambo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Oh wow! Thanks so much everyone! I think @Xiphactinus's skull was amazing and it's an incredible find, I really enjoyed seeing it. I've carried on prepping the pelagornithid cluster and I have found what looks like the sternum or a section of the skull, I'll create a thread with some more photos this evening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
