palaeopix Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 As I recall Patagonia has a veritable treasure trove of palaeontological sites of all ages. I've seen some amazing trilobites and dinosaur material from Patagonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
