uncoat Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Wow that's great! So do you find stuff mostly in beach rocks exposed by receding sand levels? Or do you dig stuff out of cliffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Dave, when I do manage the wherewithal to get back to NZ, am I going to find your fossils on display somewhere? Your finds are surely adding a great deal to the paleo record there, and I long to make the pilgrimage!

Kosmoceras Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 when I do manage the wherewithal to get back to NZ, am I going to find your fossils on display somewhere? Auspex is making plans to sneek into the museum where your stuff is, and bring the bird fossils back to his place... Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
