fossilcrazy Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Congradulations! Your Pelagornis is a terrific find. The day you posted I knew you would have the Vertebrate fossil of the month. I was so intrigued with a bird that looked like it had teeth; I had to Google it right away. Chalk it up as a learning experience on something I didn't know even existed. Thanks for entering and showing this unique find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
