I'm always amazed by the quality of the finds posted here on the forum.

Very hard choice, as all were winners. :unsure:

I guess I'll just have to go with what I like. :)

Wow- I LOVE them all. After looking at the vertebrae fossils, I think I've truly decided I love the invertebrae fossils more than I do the vertebrae fossils. These are all outstanding specimens!

Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside!
