Dear Friend:

My fundamental aim is to share with you an important discovery  produced in my
country it is
related to giant fossils of shells in the andean mountains of Huancayo, Peru.
According to history, the Andes were submerged 200 million years in the ocean.
as proof of it a paleo scientist whom I help make his study translations found
more than 500 giant shells, he discovered a rich fossil-bearing deposit which
can draw your proffesional attention or particular interest, they are up to
3.5 meters of circumference and up to 300 kilos. Arturo Vildozola Cuba,
president of the Andean Society of Paleontology, was the person who made this
wonderful discovery in the locality of Acostambo (Huancavelica), to forty
kilometers to the south of Huancayo, this deposit of giant petrified shells is
located, in a place to 3,750 meters of sea level  and they were found to few
meters of the highway that joins the localities of Pampas and Colcabamba, and
these seashore creatures  have never been an obje!ct of attention by any paleo
staf
We know they  have a scientific importance, they need to be "technically
represented" in space and time. For instance, certain shells may be plentiful
on the beach after strong storms import material from far off shore. Some
species are found only after a mating-, or a seasonal life- cycle. Each
organism has a limited habitat, tolerating a variable range of environmental
conditions. Limiting ecological factors  and so on.

Because they remained without being identified for more than 200 million
years, approximately.  we need to determine that this deposit was occupied by
"giganteum Plagiostoma ", pertaining to the mesozoic time  please let us know
if we can count with  your  professional assistance to handle this fantastic
discovery, The care of this environment is everone's responsibility
