Because as we approach Christmas, customs will become increasingly saturated. I have two Santas who have yet to confirm that their international packages have been sent out. The others are within the USA. Edited December 4, 2021 by Tidgy's Dad 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite covered in matrix and I made a bit of a mess of the prepping, hence all the nasty scratches, but it was forty odd years ago and I was a foolish young man rather than the foolish older man I am today. 11 cm across. 1 3 Life's Good!

JamieLynn Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 My amazing box o' fossils from my Secret Santa!! SO MUCH AWESOME IN A BOX! The Whole Hoard: Close ups: I have to admit, the Oreodont jaw is my favorite. I have wanted an Oreodont and now I have my very own. Thank you Santa! Next Favorite is the Ocala Sea Urchin and the Jellyfish Nodules. I have some Ocalala stuff but not a whole urchin and didn't have ANY Mazon Creek stuff, so that is exciting! More Mazon goodies: and then THIS Big Whooper! Biggest Trilo I have ever seen! plus a really nice Knightia and some gorgeous agatized coral. And that's not all!! An amazing Shark Spine And this lovely hash plate!! And i am not 100% certain what the big cast claw and matrix thingie are (as seen in image 2)- maybe T Rex? And a big stack of specimen cards, which is awesome because I didn't have any. And one of my other most favorite things -Some Aurora Micro Matrix!! PLUS.....a book that I am really looking forward to digging into! I've been to Egypt (not for fossil hunting, alas) so am really looking forward to this: SO thank you thank you Secret Santa......you made my Holiday super special. 11 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still thought I would share a picture of a typical "idyllic Christmas scene" from here in Australia Instead of putting on Christmas sweaters or drinking egg nog, many Aussies just head down to the beach on Christmas day to beat the summer heat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
