70 Million years vs 6 months

Time does wait for those of the inquiring mind. I waited 6 months before a post on the Ideal N/V .
The Drought of the Mid-West (7 years lean?) did not dry out the hydro excess in the top part ofthe brain of political experts. The tares exceeded the golden thoughts and the harvest was bare.

Approximately 70million years ago on a "floating" continent a baby plesiosaur died. Wednesday December 13, 2006, 6:41 M S T at the Museum School of Mines and Technology the shroud was lifted on the bones of this baby.

The hands of Dr. Jim Martin early resident nearIgloo, S. Dak. revealed a missing link to a fossil relative found on the Salzman flats on the Missouri River near Iona, S. Dakota. Dr. Martin of the paleontology department School of Mines and Technology, Rapid City, S. D. along with Dr. John Sawyer, and Mr. Wayne Thompson were presented the Department of Defense Antartica Service Medal by the National Science Foundation Antartic Research Expedition.

A Paleontologist never lets the dead past bury its dead. Just a few feet from the baby bones unveiled was the tail end of the Salzman long-necked plesiosaur fossil.

If time does tell, can you wait?
