R help - Nov 2014 - starting with mixture distribution

Hi.I was using the last night the fitdistr package to start with some fitting. I
have some data sets that even though have a very gaussian distribution it looks
like that also it has some very heavy tails, that can not be accurately be
modelled by a gaussian distribution.Where should I give a try with mixture of
distribution?
RegardsAlex

An overview of available distributions and corresponding fitting functions 
is in the "Distributions" task view. Finite mixture models and
model-based
clustering is discussed in the "Cluster" task view. See:
