a rare archaeological find from east texas...



what you see here is the most complete fossil ever found of the ancient sabre tooth snail-tortoise.










until recently found in situ by the author, this prehistoric animal has eroneously been interpreted by most of the scientific world in this fashion.



further study is ongoing.
