The quality of preservation is almost unmatched, and quarry operations factors not account for the interesting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth (Adapted from Reading TOEFL 1) Question 35 The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
