25 years of fossil collecting yields clearest picture of extinct 12-foot aquatic predator
After 25 years of collecting fossils at a Pennsylvania site, scientists at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University now have a much better picture of an ancient, extinct 12-foot fish and the world in which it lived.
Although Hyneria lindae was initially described in 1968, it was done without a lot of fossil material to go on. But since the mid-1990s, dedicated volunteers, students, and paleontologists digging at the Red Hill site in northern Pennsylvania’s Clinton County have turned up more – and better quality – fossils of the fish’s skeleton that have led to new insights.
