mamlambo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Thanks so much everyone! This is SO exciting! I never ever thought I would actually find a fossil penguin and then on top of that to have it win Invertebrate FOTM is just crazy!! I'm looking forward to being able to update everyone when the species is figured out. I thought there were some really good other entries this month, I do love me some articulated vertebrae @SomethingIsFishy and @Jared C!
