Thanks, this is super awesome! So cool that they were able to recognise it for what it is and get it to the right people.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Is it just me though, or do all the shells in the article look like what you can pick up from any beach nowadays?

It says in one of the captions that the photo is some of the "most common" out of the stuff they found.

But there's also 10 species never seen before, some tropical stuff we don't get now and a bone from an extinct shark.

Its kind of cool that some of the common stuff has looked the same for 3 million years though!

Not exactly dino bones. All in the detail I guess.
