Allen,
yup, the finds these days are nothing short of spectacular.
Saw on TV last night that Australian paleontologists have just found an entire MARSUPIAL lion skeleton in a 20-foot deep cave.
Imagine that...a lion from ???ago that kept its young in a pouch like a kangaroo. It also had a razor-sharp long talon on each front paw (if that's the right word), for grasping onto its prey while it finished them off.
Exciting stuff.
