RE: David Peters' Tracing Technique

Mike

First of all, good work! Secondly, try photoshopping the terrain below the cliff face - the rest of the skeleton may be there. Furthermore, if you try the "pixelate" function in Photoshop, you may be able to see eggs in the abdominal cavity.

I know that David's had a lot of criticism for his technique of using
PhooShop to draw out the details in a fossil that are not visible to
the naked eye, but the only scientific thing to do is make a genuine
attempt to verify his results; so that is what I did.  On holiday a
while back I saw a rock that I wondered about -- might it contain
something species?  I've pulled up one of the photos I took and traced
the elements, with I have to admit rather impressive results.  You can
see them here:
