way to go Robert W. Boessenecker. And all for one little bone. (Tooting my own horn:) I managed the Casper news last night cuz we moved our partial hadrosaur skelton, which will hopefully be the subject of my SVP talk. They cam to report on us moving the thing, and tghe story showed nothing of the exciting move... Roll My eyes.

Bobby, you got any pix you can show us?

Remember when Bobby was just a youngster on this forum? Now look at him. :D

Hey Folks,

Thanks for the compliments! I've attached a photo of the find. I guess I'm still a youngster in many regards...

EDIT: this is a combination of figure 2 and part of figure 1 from the article. I drafted the skeletal reconstruction, which is based on and re-posed (with permission) from a reconstruction by Carlos Anzures of Pelagornis chilensis.

That is great news. I must admit it is really nice that we do have some true paleontologists on the FF. Wonder what else you have in the works?
