A great find Laurent, and indeed it is Suhskinia pliocaena, not Sushkinia pliocaenica, my mistake, I will correct it in my notes!

All good stuff. Have you considered putting into opus rather t than lots of individual posts here?

There are already some extinct species
 
All good stuff. Have you considered putting into opus rather t than lots of individual posts here?

There are already some extinct species
Yes I did, but I don'r know how to use opus, it is to complicated for a simp-le soul like me who knows nothing a bout computers and computer programs. amd on my age I don't want to spend time on learning it, I'd rather spend it on fossil birds.

But if anyone wants to put it on upus, feel free to do so, o9f you mention me tkat will be good!
