< University of Nebraska State Museum officials will meet this week with
representatives of Nebraska's Santee Sioux tribe to resolve a dispute over the
ownership of a plesiosaur fossil excavated in May of this year. >
However, the most astounding news about the fossil is:
< The plesiosaur fossil is estimated to be 70 billion years old. The excavation
produced approximately one-third of the plesiosaur's sixty to seventy
vertebrae.>
So, what geological age would that be?
