Missing Link Found
The fossil, named Ida, was found by an amateur fossil-hunter some 25 years ago in Messel pit, an ancient crater lake near Frankfurt, Germany, famous for its fossils.
After being cleaned and set in polyester resin, the fossil was hung on a mystery German collector’s wall for 20 years. In 2006, Ida came into the hands of private dealer Thomas Perner, who presented her to Prof Hurum at the annual Hamburg Fossil and Mineral Fair in Germany - a centre for the murky world of fossil-trading.
The dealer’s asking price was more than $1 million (£660,000) - ten times the amount even the rarest of fossils fetch on the black market. Eventually, after six months of negotiations, Prof Hurum, who last summer dug up the fossil remains of a 50ft marine monster called Predator X from the permafrost on Svalbard, a Norwegian island close to the North Pole, managed to raise the cash in Norway and brought Ida to Oslo.
