Kan jy glo … ek was al daar, maar om te kuier by die restaurant (en toe nooit by die fossielpark ingegaan nie). Volgende keer – dankie vir die herinnering Aletta!
Fossils are in the news now, with the discovery of the wooly mammoth baby. Maybe one day, we will be able to get as close to her as you can with this fossil!
