I would never have thought I could win a VFOTM here on TFF, let alone 2 of them.

I know that many of You have seen and commented on this piece in other threads-- Thank YOU all!!

And for those that voted for this fossil a special thanks.

I also want to acknowledge @Ptychodus04 (Kris) for the wonderful prep He did.

 

Thank You all!!!

I can only assume Ynot bribed the judges....

Therefore the prize shall be forfeited and the fossil sent to my bookshelf as punishment

 

Congrats Tony. That is an AMAZING piece!

And yes, Kris, AWESOME prep!

Thank You Blake.

Ynot has been acting a little funny this last week, maybe He did something behind My back.

Tony & Kris. What a great team! They even share a similar sense of humerus...oops, wrong bone.

Hi,

 

Congrats Tony ! Very nice job and fossil !

 

I supposed too that Ynot was for something there, he doubtless helped you by telling you in the ear by which end to begin the preparation !

That's a very deserving win Tony. @ynot is sneaky sometimes but he gets it right every now and then!

 

 Thanks for trusting me to do the prep for you.
