Is anybody here a marine reptile biologist?

Dog walkers and people with metal detectors seem to discover everything in England.

Impressive, but what blows my mind is that is had a smell after 65MM years. A dog’s nose is simply amazing.

Ichthyosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago. Do they mean 165 million years ago?

Dog school should give him an honorary cadaver dog degree.

Are you sure that armored thing is an icthyosaurus?

Amazing that there would be any smell left for the dog to sniff after 65 million years. I’d have thought it would be completely mineralized.

Not archeologist, but paleontologist.

An archeologist is a person who studies human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains.

A paleontologist is a scientist who studies fossils. If your basement is filled with fossils found while out on hikes, then you’re an amateur paleontologist.
