Bullyland Megatherium.

Gustavo Lara, Director of Culture of the town of Roque Perez, is shown in various photos holding a fossil bone of a Megatherium, a variety of large ground sloth, at an excavation site on the outskirts of Roque Perez, some 135 km (84 miles) south of Buenos Aires, this week.

Fossil bones of a glyptodont (replica above), the nearly complete skeleton of a Megatherium and a head of a Stegomastodon dated from the Pleistocene, the epoch from 1.8 million to 10,000 years ago, were found by paleontologists in the sediments of the Salado River. Due to a drought that has been affecting the area for months, local media and Reuters reported the fossils are appearing.

Hey, the International Cryptozoology Museum would love to have large (legal) fossils of its own for exhibition, but institutional survival is the key, first and foremost.

Consider a contribution today, and merely click to…

Thank you
