And he asked which one would find in a better state of preservation. And I said: The Vertebrates! So I invited him to know the Sedimentary Basin of Araripe, in addition to the DNPM and the Santana fossil Museum of Cariri. There could show some fossils and he became interested in Rhacolepis, the only one who fossilize in 3D. So we set off for the second part of the research was to get some copies ... around 63 along with all the DNPM licenses.
