Mesosaurus Fossils - Mesosaurus tenuidens






OneStonedCrow Pics

The Mesosaurus is probably one of the most convincing examples to prove the drifting of continents. These formations are between 280 and 320 million years old.

I took these pics at the Mesosaurus fossil site which is located quite close to where I am now, in a stunning part of the country, surrounded by Quiver tree forests and amazing dolerite rock formations.

You can find explanations of the significance of the fossil finds here and here.
