In the closest contest we have had, Phil's (lordpiney) Plesiosaur tooth has nipped a victory from Placoderms Petalodont tooth! Phil rescued this find from winter's grip in Ramanessin Brook, and it is now the January 2010 Vertebrate Find Of The Month!

Go Phil! Your hard work and super warm bloodedness paid off while wading in the freezing creek water. Congrats!
Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPhee

Congradulations Phil!

I guess it make sense... If a Plesiosaur fought a Petalodont wouldn't a Plesiosaur win? :o
