["Xavier Panades I Blas" <cogombra@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

I have been unsuccessfully searching for any record of Bird Nests from the 
Tertiary. I have located some eggs and eggshells but no nests...Any 
suggestions

Thank you in advance!

Dear David,

Others including myself would be interested in the answer to your  question, 
so perhaps replies could indeed be posted to the list.  As  an aside, the 
ICS time scale is certainly authoritative, but it does  not as I understand 
become "official" until sanctioned by the IUGS in  Oslo, 2008.
