Max-fossils Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Congrats on the win with this amazing find, and prep job!!! I already saw pictures of the fossil before, but in this topic the pictures won't load... Is this normal? Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Doctor Mud Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Well deserved win. One of the nicest specimens I've ever seen! Might even be equal to the Snollydont @snolly50 Lucinda (I think?) don't tell them though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
