Thank you @Cris and the crew. Can't believe I noticed the pygidium right next to @DevonianDigger shoe! We were splitting a ton of rock on that last day of the trip and that one must have slipped us by early in the morning but alas it wasn't able to hide forever! @Malcolmt couldn't have done it without you. Wonderful prep job.

Remarkable find and stunning preparation. If I ever happen to be lucky enough to add something like that to my collection, I hope I can count on one of the talented TFF preppers to bring it to light as artistically as @Malcolmt did with that specimen.

 

Good work all around--congrats on the win!

 

Cheers.

Amazing little bug, worthy of IFOTM. Unfortunately, I guess now I have to return it to you. One bug left to prep and I should be getting a package off to you in the next week........

Congratulations on the fantastic trilo find and win. Definitely was a trilobite heavy month and yours set the bar. It was a tough choice for sure. I love the presentation on the prep job too. 

...I'm back.

@Fossil-Hound & @Malcolmt, congratulations! That was a super find. Good call on sending that pygidium off to Malcolm. Had you gone with our assumptions that it was just the butt, we'd never have gotten to see that beauty!
