Think I'll try my luck with an invert this time.

Found at the clay pit in Geisingen on Nov. 20th. Prepared in roughly 4 hours with air scribe and abrader and finished off with Rember.

While I have found many of the elongated teeth here and at other locations, this is my first plate. Researching this I have found it to be a very uncommon find.

I'm not concerned whether I win monthly accolades here or not, just wanted to show something I don't see in the Texas Outback very often...in fact this is my first find of this particular flavor.

Well, they may not be as spectacular as some of this month's finds, but I thought I'd share them anyways. :D

Here are two clams (Whitella Sp.?) and a Conularia Sp., both found in the same piece of matrix. The conulariid is a rare find in the Georgian Bay Formation (450 myo). I finished preping them earlier this month, but I can't remember the exact day. ;)

My husband said I should enter this trilobite in this months Fossil of the month contest. I found it on November 27th, 2011 at his 'Honey Hole' which from my research, (research = 'asking my husband who found out from you all' I think) is Carboniferous Pennsylvanian Missourian Kansas City Winterset Limestone. From all indications it is an Ameura Missouriensis Trilobite. Thank you everybody for the help. Everyone knows I am new to this and I don't know if I stand a chance or not. Kehbe thinks this was a rare find because of where it was found and that it is almost complete. Is that really true?
