Oh my! Which of course means that it only follows that my marine
fossils that are found in context with an estuarine
environment...along with terrestrial living fossils, were already
adapted to terrestrial living...which of course means that the sharks,
ray, etc., were already moving to land and evolved into extant
elephant species. It of course has nothing to do with the sand
lenses.
