Well, youcantryreachingme, that would still be incorrect, if this was a geographic reference. There have been several unique populations of the species discovered off the coast of Africa, as well as the Indonesia species. Nope, the context seems to be #1 = 1938, #2 = 1958, and #3 = 2001. Of course, that’s just as incorrect as would your three locations meaning too. Hey, it’s a media quickie, and their focus was the tourist boom that the exhibition will cause for this one area.

Perhaps by "the third in the world" they meant third location in the world?

Thanks, Loren. That's unique. I posted it in my own blog this afternoon. By the way, someone posted a while ago about the cryptozoological models made by Jeff Johnson. He did a superb one of Dunkleosteus terrelli for me. (Not strictly a cryptozoological subject, but a favorite of mine, as you know.)
