Man!  Every one of these should/ could win.  Who would have known with all that's going on in the world with Covid, that this was the month of such spectacular finds.

I guess it just inspired everyone to go out and be isolated in the field.

Our members have been busy and we have an enviable diversity of fossils to drool over in this month's contest. It won't be an easy choice but then that's the point.

 

 

Cheers.
