JohnJ Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Winner of the March 2014 Invertebrate / Plant Find Of The Month is the Pulalius vulgaris crab from the Oligocene Lincoln Creek Formation of Washington, USA. Congratulations to CH4ShotCaller on his find and outstanding 3-D preparation of "The Boss"! Thank you to all the other members that participated and voted. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH4ShotCaller Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Woohoo! Thanks everyone for the votes and a win for 'The Boss'. This specimen took way longer to prep than any other, but indeed worth the extra effort. A few tips from 'the masters' insisting on patience, sharp tools, good light and switching to decaf would have good results. The Boss is now resting and on guard with the pyrite crab in my study. Again, thank you. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. -Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
