Dear All,
From 'In Brief' in today's Daily Telegraph
-
Kipling's
crocodile
A well-preserved crocodile skull has been
declared
as belonging to a new species. The
130million-year
-old specimen has been named Goniopholis
Kiplini
after Rudyard Kipling in recognition of the
writer's
enthusiasm for natural sciences. The skull,
dating
back to the early Cretaceous period, was
discovered
in Swanage three years ago and is now in the
Dorset
County Museum.
Best wishes to all,
Roger Ayers
