This is a cast of a cast of the holotype of Grippa
longirostris. The original cast is probably the only existing evidence
of the lost holotype. The ridge on the ventral margin is a result of my
poor molding ability. There is a phalangeal bone on the ventral side,
but it is obscured by this ridge that cuts across it. Polygon counts: Original 756,750; 30,000 before compression Time: Early Triassic (Olenekian) Locality: Spitzbergen Specimen: Cast |
