Europasaurus
Europasaurus is a basal macronarian sauropod, a form of quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur. It lived during the Late Jurassic (middle Kimmeridgian, about 154 million years ago) in northern Germany.
If you collect all four of our dinosaurs together you may understand their names, especially if you have younger geokiddies.

I am going to use this find to claim a reqirement in the current GCA Geosportz Game. That required me to ride here on my trusty steed. However I tethered him up high so that he didn't drown.
Thanks for this moveable Nessell. He will be safe here.
I am home and checking out my cache of caches that I found today. There were 7 moveables in all. This little fellow took for ages to find as we have had lots of wind and rain since he was last found and he had tried to bury himself to avoid it. I wonder if I can use him in the current GCA Geosportz Game. I will have to see. Thanks Nessell for releasing him into the big wide world. I did give him a good wash before finding him a new resting place.
Thanks for the cache Nessell.
I found the best parking spot after only driving around the block twice (pretty good for me). I let the dog out of the car, attached the leash, and off we went. We walked past a sign that said "off-leash area" and I thought perhaps on the way back....
Ground zero was in the middle of metre-high, thick grass, with grass seeds everywhere, and no way to see what I might be stepping into. Apart from the seeds that Teddy collected with his long coat, no issues. No cache, either. I hastily read the hint, and went looking for a log. Finally, I found one, half-buried under grass, and with a few branches. I poked fairly thoroughly in every crevice and under every overhang (with a stick - I don't have a death wish), but Emma was nowhere to be found. Oh, well, I thought. At least I've had a walk, and Teddy seems happy enough. And then I remembered the sign about off-leash. I removed the leash, and the Big Baby took off. I shouted, I called, I threatened, but Teddy made a beeline for the car, and NOTHING was going to get in his way. I puffed along behind, getting further and further away from him. FINALLY, I reached the car, luckily parked in a quiet side street with almost no traffic, and my big brave boy was circling the car at a fair speed, trying to find an opening. I let him in, and then had to explain to a neighbour who had just pulled in that I wasn't really a dognapper, and I didn't make a habit of letting him roam around unsupervised, while I tried to catch my breath at the same time.
So at the end of all that, I have no cache and no reliable walking partner, but I DO have quite a lot of heavy grooming ahead of me to get some of the grass seeds out of a thick, long coat. I have learned a lesson about letting Teddy loose when he is out without his little furry friend, though.
Again I am very sorry for anyone (mainly andrewbt I think) who went looking in vain and the CO thinking it was gone. I am often a bit behind logging but not that much usually, there were just overwhelmingly many in that bag.
Thanks

This little guy is now with me and will continue its travels around Canberra.
Thanks for the moveable Nessell…..will move on soon.
Thanks for the cache.
Going to try to make their job a little bit harder by trying to split them up.
Signed the log and move on to a new hide a bit later. Thanks for the moveable Hansjj
