coldcreation Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Very interesting article. Thanks Moon. Living in Spain as an avid fossil hunter, this story strikes a vibrant chord. Though the areas I frequent most are Triassic-Jurassic boundaries, with occasional Cambrian and Silurian formations, slightly older than the area this investigation transpires. Very cool. I'll try to keep track of the discoveries as they sift through the rest of the 2500m2. CC Quote
