Greetings
I went into the lab location of the Hobart Museum to see how progress
was going on the recently excavated Jurassic tree stump... still in
pieces at this stage, though the discoverer reckons he has found a
bigger tree four feet in diameter. However with their permission I've
uploaded to the Miscellaneous photo album an image of an early
Triassic fossil. It was found in 2006 by bushwalkers on the east
coast and consists of two skulls of labyrinthodont amphibians that may
have resembled modern salamanders. Perhaps their waterhole dried up
which sounds ominous for humans. Another one for the 'must find' list.
