Denver Gem, Mineral, Fossil Show - Sept 2004

Prev | Index For This Date | Next

Bird from Green River Formation, Fossil Lake near Kemmerer, WY.  Found at Paul Jamison's quarry.  Fortunately, it was "NFS" (Not For Sale) at the show because Paul wants museums/universities to look at it.  It is likely a new bird for the Green River Formation.  Note that entire bird is present (the skull/beak is just to the right of the neck), feathers have been preserved as has the rib cage.  Also, note claws.  Green River bookmark has cm scale on left side.
