Oh wow!!! Was just trying to find some of these pics online the other night, but had no luck. I'm reading Timothys Book at the minute, and his shell is apparently preserved at the Natural history museum. Thanks for sharing

It is the shell in the first pic at the top left I think.....

Edit...just double checked it is the shell in the first pic on the top left

What fascinating pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent pictures

I've seen Timothy in person too (couple of years ago). The interesting thing is that he isn't from North Africa, like everyone thinks. He's a T.g.ibera from Europe.

The second one was a prehistoric Armadillo I believe and very big.
