Living fossil

My lovely friend in NZ sent me this, an aluminium sculpture postcard.
It is a model of a New Zealand Tuatara, which is a survivor of a group of reptiles which lived at the time of the dinosaurs. It has hardly changed it's form in over 225 million years. The relatives of the Tuatara died out about 60 million years ago which is why it is called the Living Fossil.
This is in return for me sending her supplies of Marmite - fair swap I'd say.
