Pistosaurus Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

chaosmanor: No idea what buddyfitz11 saw out here, because when I came out, all I could come up with were a few bits of plastic. Most of those crumbled as I tried to pick them up. This has had a better run than it probably deserved: time to let it go extinct.

Geocache Description:

One of several caches that we hid while working on f0t0m0m's dinosaur series. All of ours are aquatic creatures of the Mesozoic era, to distinguish them from the land-based critters of the f0t0m0m series.

[192/170]

Pistosaurus flourished during the Ladinian epoch of the Middle Triassic. The first specimens of this plesiosaur were described by Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer in 1839. Despite being recognized for nearly 200 years, no analysis has yet been done on how this creature swam, whether like a turtle or like a crocodile. There are two known species in the genus Pistosaurus: P. longaevus and P. grandaevus. The former was conserved by von Meyer in 1839, the latter by him in 1855.

You are looking for a small box that could hold about a half-dozen floppy disks, assuming you can remember what a floppy disk is/was Take care retrieving it!

Good luck! Have fun
