Rare fossil Meads found by Prof Wik Steun near Lawerence

In Salina a very rare fossil reptile, likened to Triceratops, was located by Prof. Wik Steun and a party of students.

Inquiries trace the specimen to Wyoming near Sinek and follow the expedition of students Covell, Ho we, EA Riggs, and Stegent Sama from Lawrenud.
