Do you have an ISBN for that book? The frogs in the coal caught my interest. From studying amphibians, I know that some species burrow into the ground and enter into a very reduced metabolic state. Some do not re-emerge for years.

No worries. I was excited to realize I had the book as well. Might I add that mine is 3 years older than your copy... sorry I'm gloating. Allow me to applaud your efforts

I find it strage that our ISBN numbers match being that they are published in diff. years. My copy only has the title over top of the eclipse without any other words unlike yours with the blurb at the bottom center.

There are mudskippers in Africa that come up every time it gets flooding rains, they burrow about 3 feet or so down and their heart beats, I think it was, once every three or four days, or maybe it was once a week or month? I know when alligators sleep their heart beats once an hour or so. Frogs also do this when they hibernate in the midwest. Doubt that a bird like that could stay alive inside a limestone rock for millions of years though.

This is surprisingly easy.

Assuming the above, a search of google images "giant bird" brings up several images of the so called "thunderbird"

also this:

nice thread raven!

there's a little known avenue for being able to dig into lost and old photos and archives.
all cities in the US have an archive of old photos and what not.

i got to rummage through boxes upon boxes of really old photos from new york city and colorado once for a job. -- i was creating a giant mural with images from yesteryear.

it's an amazing resource. not sure who to ask anymore - chamber of commerce?
they are generally free to use and look through and you can find AMAZING lost photos.

so if you can dial-in on where the TB shots were from, maybe they would have them in their archive.

That is the only thing, unless we can find what paper (if any) other than the Tombstone published the article with the picture then the archives won't help, as the original article from the Tombstone was already found, but sadly had no picture. But I agree, an archive search of any publications from that era (it was a long time ago though) would be best.

Er, no. The civil war ones are have been proved to be fakes. None of the 123,000 photos that Google brings up with those search words are the missing one that so many of us remember.

Nope, sadly it isn't. that's a strange one though. even though it looks like a fake.
read the OP, we are looking for a bird on the side of a barn.

NO! Read the posts, it has been posted few times already!!

I think there are more chance to find something on p2p. Someone could tell me ALL the others names of the thunderbird? There must be a traduction in others langages no?

I think its clear that this image is never going to be found and either there was some sort of correction in the universe timeline or it really is people thinking it existed when it never did,but i don't think from a collection of different images but most probably because of this attention it is getting now.I wouldn't be surprised if someone posts this in 10 years time and people will be like oh yeah i remember that picture from 10 years ago after my friend told me something about it
