And wow, what a generous Santa I had! This package was sent anonymously, so TFF detectives, I need your help in figuring out whom I should thank. While the majority of these fossils are from the Ordovician of the Cincinnati, Ohio, area, the box wasn't sent from Ohio, which may be a clue--or a misdirection. Secret Santa, whomever you are, thank you so much for sending me these great fossils and for helping me expand my fossil collection into multiple new areas! Another varied and excellent Secret Santa gift. Nice photos as well, by the way. 1 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) So we still need to guess the European Santa who sent to Andy in Singapore and the identity of @bthemoose's Santa.
