Mmh. Then there is more than an expiry time at play -- probably a cookie that is also needed for the link to work. (You have yours, I have mine, we can't exchange our links.)
(If so, passing through Google Scholars should work for anyone...? E.g.: first go to: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q="A+stem+anseriform+from+the+early+Palaeocene+of+Antarctica" (alt. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=5894649904151312699 ); then follow (one of) the [PDF] link(s).
Going directly to academia.edu will probably work too: https://www.academia.edu/38202076/ ; but then you have to log in if you want to download the paper.)
