Troodon Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wow that was unexpected thank you for all that participated. A real highlight of the week in an otherwise dismal one. Spent the weekend in a hospital getting treated for double Pneumonia, non COVID-19, related. They sent me home with a low grade antibiotic so by Tuesday had a major relapse. I never get sick and this has knocked me out big time, very painful. New drugs are working slowly but have no idea how long the recovery will take. Sorry to those that I have not gotten back with. Hopefully can get back to normal late next week. @Dinobot @lone5wolf117 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, congratulations on a wonderful find. Being an invertebrate collector, I must say it is ALMOST as nice as Jamie Lynn's echinoid. Joking aside, I wish dinosaur collecting was open to us hobby enthusiasts. To find something like that would blow my mind!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
