Welsh Wizard Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks guys Don We didn't get a painting from the museum but they did send the high res image which we used to get some prints done. Opi the sculptor is Bob Nicholls. He's a British paleoartist who did the Bristol Dinosaur sculpture and the recent pssiticosaurus model. He's very good Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I just reread all the topics related to your amazing journey with this discovery. I couldn't do it without a smile. LINK LINK LINK On rare occasions and on a purely subjective basis, admins on TFF will award The Golden Drool Bucket. The award has evolved to encompass 'off the charts', museum-worthy finds; a best of the best, stunning and well documented collection; or world class preparation on a world class find. Nick, the discovery made by you and your brother easily checks off many of these observations; so, this is an easy call. Congratulations, sir! @Welsh Wizard 2 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi everyone. That's fantastic and I'm so pleased on behalf of both myself and my brother to be awarded the Golden Drool Bucket. I love this forum and I now just need to work out how I make a career in fossils my retirement plan. Although I must admit I've got quite a few years to think about it. All the best Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
