Yup, it seems April was a good month for fossil hunting. A drool-worthy and diverse slate of entries this month. Congrats to all who entered.

That's a pretty sweet looking Diplurus and those are hard to find completely intact. @Ptychodus04 did an amazing prep job but that dire wolf jaw looks really cool. Going to be a tough decision.
