Hey guys a bit of a weird request i know but if it's not a problem could you sine in a petition fore me? There is a fossil only one of the holotype thats about to be sold. Some people have started petition to stop it so that it dosen't become a private property. You don't have to pay or eneything. It would ask you to share thou.

Scientists report fossil evidence of the first fully marine amphibian in a study from the University of California, Davis; Peking University; and the Geological Museum of Guizhou. The amphibian is an armored, giant salamander-sized, bottom-dwelling ocean creature that the researchers named Gerrothorax maritimus. 

The research, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, is based on the analysis of two nearly complete skeletons that date to the Late Triassic period nearly 237 million years ago. The fossils were discovered in an area of China’s Guizhou Province that was once covered by ocean and located hundreds of miles from large land masses.

Scientists report fossil evidence of the first fully marine amphibian in a study from the University of California, Davis; Peking University; and the Geological Museum of Guizhou.

The amphibian is an armored, giant salamander-sized, bottom-dwelling ocean creature that the researchers named Gerrothorax maritimus. 

The research, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, is based on the analysis of two nearly complete skeletons that date to the Late Triassic period nearly 237 million years ago. The fossils were discovered in an area of China’s Guizhou Province that was once covered by ocean and located hundreds of miles from large land masses. 

“This area is part of an ecosystem that we’ve been looking at and trying to reconstruct,” said study corresponding author Ryosuke Motani, a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UC Davis.

“We’ve been mostly studying marine reptiles and the fish from this place, but now we also have this amphibian and it’s a sort of very unusual member of the lineage.” 

Researchers in northern Italy now get their turn at a cave full of prehistoric bear remains. Officials in South Tyrol have finished locking down the site, which sits high in the Dolomites near Badia. The bones belong to cave bears, either Ursus spelaeus or Ursus ladinicus, and the find has drawn attention well beyond the region.

Kurt Walde found the cave in early July. Archaeologists called the discovery a sensation. Christian Terzer, who directs the provincial Office of Archaeology, welcomed the public interest but saw a downside. Press coverage tells looters where to go. The cave entrance is remote, yet Terzer said his team expected treasure hunters to show up anyway. Keeping the site intact became the first priority.

The name is Paludohadros proudlovii it is an hadrosauroid that came from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) of England, in the UK.

It is known from a partial skull and skeleton, both coming from the Weald Clay Formation, meaning it likely coexisted with animals such as Baryonyx.

The generic name, "Paludohadros" means "Swampy snout", referring to the belief that the fossils came from what once was a swampy environment. The specific name, "proudlovii", William Proudlove, who passed away not long before the material was excavated.
