It would appear rays and sharks have been doing some dilly dallying !! :yikes:

My contribution to fossils - picked this up from Quichua native in mountains outside Oruru, Bolivia. It appears authentic and paid USD $5 for it. Back then (1975) the yearly average income of Bolivian natives was around USD$19.00 year.

I got hooked on paleontology early. My dad read to us for bedtime out of Roy Chapman Andrews' On the Trail of Ancient Man where the American Museum of Natural History sent them to the Flaming Cliffs in Mongolia to look for human fossils. Instead they found out that dinosaurs laid eggs. They discovered horned dinos, one being protoceratops andrewsii. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. Just love it. Have found a few myself.
