re: #92 BigDana

I’m not going to call “B.S.” on this — yet — but I will say that this thing looks to be in awfully good shape for something that’s 47 million years old. Just sayin’ I’m old enough to remember Piltdown Man.

A lot of fossils preserved in fine limestone tend to have this same look to them. The fine lime preserves a lot of finer details that otherwise might not be preserved. Here’s another fossil like that.
