Sweet. My dad found the spine of… something i the clay of a lake in Kansas. We still aren’t sure if it is a bony fish, or a smaller sea reptile. Need to find someone who knows these things at some point to nail it down.

Yeah, I should find someone at Kansas University. They have a good program there and should be more familiar with stuff found in Kansas.
