Message-in-the-bottle

[Alexander Mudroch <mudroch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

today one of our senior paleontologists came to me with a question.
He asked me if I know any collections of bottles that were thrown into 
the sea and found thereafter preferably with their messages still
attached. I could only remark that for my belief most of those message-
in-the-bottles should be in private hands, but I am not sure.
So, I pose this question to the PaleoNet community.

By the way this is not meant to be a joke. This collegue is actually 
working on biogenic abrasion of siliceous substrates.

Any hint where those bottles could be found would be very much
appreciated. Reply online or offline.

Thank You

Alexander
