I cannot tell whether Scapulæ, Oysters, Balanae were on bones but I think certainly one Balanus was on parts of bones, which had been covered in the lead sandstone – This had Megatherium full of conglomerate. ? must have been tender after being washed out of old deposit – one oyster on the sandstone of Scelidotherium.
