Hey Paul, thanks for the links. Interesting they have a complete specimen. This brought back some fond 35 year old memories of actually studying about Australopithecines in college and possibly being an anthropologist....That plan changed and I havent really followed the discoveries over the years. It was nice to get a refresher of some current goings on/diggings.

Regards, Chris
