Thanks Ken. I hadn’t seen this video. It’s nice to see this crab appear as if by magic. Bravo for the work !

Not much of a surprise here, as far as I'm concerned, but congratulations all the same, Morne!! :default_clap2::yay-smiley-1::yay-smiley-1:

It's indeed a beast of a fossil and, as Yury indicated above, a long overdue win with all the spectacular and scientifically important finds you've been making! :tiphat:

 

And just so as we don't all need to go out and look for the prep-video ourselves, here it is:

 

Cheers,

Alexander.

Oh wow! Thanks so much everyone! I've been on the forum for a while now and never thought I would ever win a FOTM competition, I really love this community :)

 

Your entry was amazing @Sjfriend , such a close competition this month!

You had an amazing eye to know what you had found.  I agree that it was better to wait until you thought you were able to prep it well.  I can tell you that I have very little patience or talent for that level of prep. Congrats!  What a monster!
