Yes indeed. And it only took 6 weeks to reach its destination. At least it looks like everything arrived safely. Just a few items I collected in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, along with a crab and a shrimp from Ron, RJB. Thanks for posting the photo, Jasper, and you're welcome!

Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

Sorry it was a bit late. Not the fault of Mike @Pagurus, I must point out who posted early in November. 

Customs issue, it seems. 1957944237_CustomsCavity.gif.ee34d0a2b24660b06d95243cf282d385.gif

All's well that ends well, please  now post a picture of the artwork for the many of us who want to see the famous Pagurus paintings. :santasmile:

Really lazy and disrespectful looking photo, by the way.

Tidgy would be most accommodating. You would be most welcome. She is an international supermodel who appeared three years in a row on the International Tortoise Calendar, a feat which has never been equaled. Thousands of people have her on their walls. And she earns money for this.

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I got home from work to find a package waiting for me. I was beginning to wonder if I was on Santa's naughty list. Apparently there was a problem with the postal service on the sender's end and had to be resent. I had a hard time getting decent pictures and no information was provided on the what, where and when of these fossils. Please feel free to chime in if you have any insight. Thanks to my Santa and all the other Santas for playing this year. And a huge thanks to Adam @Tidgy's Dad for organizing this event again, I'm already looking forward to next year.

I am surprised and delighted that your parcel finally arrived, but rather disappointed at the contents and lack of information. Gaah!.gif.d9d19a16f28d3bd879b80b2946b97b25.gif

I can tell you that these first three are described as "shellfish from Guizhou". 

20220110_161717.jpg

This next one is supposed to be a fragment of dinosaur bone from either Gansu or Yunnan.

20220110_161634.jpg

There was supposed to be one from each area, but the second piece appears not to have arrived at your end. Possibly due to customs as there was also supposed to be a nice plant fossil from the Beijing coal measures in the package and you haven't received that either, it would seem. 

Customs.gif.89c5635a340eacb59e2d645665d192d5.gif:fern:

Whatever the other two objects are supposed to be, I'm afraid I have simply no idea.  Disbelief.gif.2768d1a05acf6f445594e2a6ccbbf1de.gif

Very sorry abut this.
