"rhinoceros-like creatures, soft-shelled turtles, alligators and host of small mammals..."

Are all of these animals capable of hibernation?

No, but as the same paragraph explains, the island was nice and warm in the past, so they didn't need to. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I work for Basinger.

I'm trying to identify some Juglandaceae fruit he gathered at Axel Heiberg. Looks like hickory, and some may be walnuts.

And yeah, for 30 million year old nuts, they're *very* well preserved. Most are flattened by their burial, but they're not mineralized, and you can pop the two nut valves apart like you can with nuts that exist today.
