On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin'-fishes play,
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!

The Chinese will supply you with what you need in fossils. Need wings? How bout feathers. They will get their engravers to work on it.

Hows about a flying turtle!

I can tell it’s a flying fish by the feather imprints. ‘Course everyhing had feathers back then except birds.
