Thanks, 谢谢. Thanks to everyone who voted for my fossil. There was some tough competition. I would have been happy to find any of those fossils. The echinoderm from France was quite impressive. The Texas baculite I can relate to. It's Texas size of it was awesome.

That is a really nice fossil.  Great job.  How much prep word did it take?

I haven't done any prep work yet other than a light scrub with a toothbrush and some water. The real prep work has yet to begin.
