*TWO* HUNDRED THOUSAND...! :)
Right. And you are correct about the sharks’ vs. dinos’ timeline.
But I’m still almost equally impressed that I can drive to any number of area waterbodies and catch fish that go back 150 million years, and they (esp. the longnose gar) practically overrun certain of these lakes. We’d eat ‘em (gar - not bad at all if prepared correctly), but, to clean ‘em practically requires aviation snips (GOOD ones), strong hands, determination, and maybe a saber saw...
