Auspex Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I read a paper a while ago about a feather fossil with a feather louse preserved. Now I practically dream of having one in my collection.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I would bet that there is someone who specializes in the fossil bacteria found inside of coprolites. I think it would be neat to have a lice fossil. And Auspex is correct, how great would it be to find one on a fossil feather!! I'll have to take a look at my feathers under magnification. you never know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
