I know it's several years later, but I have an update!

Jack Wittry contacted me on behalf of The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago to see if I'd consider donating it.

Today was the big day! Jack's ID was confirmed and it's now part of the museum collection.

Turns out it was more rare than I ever imagined. Only 3rd specimen known; the other two were found in the 1800's.

So thanks again to everyone here who helped, commented and encouraged!
