Dusting Off The Golden Drool Bucket

[Auspex]

The Golden Drool Bucket is an unofficial Forum award, initiated and presented by me for the most insanely awesome (according to me) things that occasionally grace our boards. It has been let out of the closet for extraordinary finds, superb and comprehensive site collections, magnificent preparation and presentation, whatever floats my leaky boat. The recurring requisite seems to be that I be incapable of getting the subject of the award out of my mind.

That rare ringing in my ears has moved me to dust off the D' Bucket, this time for a fossil site; a new and undisclosed location in Erie County, New York. Two examples of specimens from this site accompany the presentation (as if you need to be reminded!).

I'm hoping that we will be treated to pictures of more specimens from this incredible site by its discoverer, triarthrus! Markus, in recognition of the overall awesomeness of the fossils from your new location, I offer you the Golden Drool Bucket Award.

I'll drink to that. Looking forward to seeing more.

That is really one very nice piece. I would be in just utter shock if I found something like that.

[KansasFossilHunter]

Truly a WOW piece!

[Wrangellian]

Well deserved, that is one of the best things I've seen on here in a while, and there is no shortage of nice things..

Now that I look at it again, I'm curious about the 'cross section' view of the 1/2 head at upper right.

Yep. Jaws are dropping, drool is dripping. Aptly named award.
