I already did but it hasn't transferred between accounts (even though they were combined)

Izak, 

I didn't see a post in this thread about your fish spine donation. :( 

If you post it there, I can get your badge  back on there. :)

Izak, you earned a badge from your previous post in the Partner's Gallery for your donation to Kronosaurus Korner.  The badge is awarded only to those that post in that Gallery.  ;)

Here's a personal favorite. A Bellacartwrightia whitelyi from Penn Dixie discovered on the last day of a four day dig. This won the May 2017 IPFOTM. I'll never forget seeing the pygidium out in the open and hoping it would be complete. This trilobite is very rare and holds a special place in my heart because of those who I dug with. I'll never forget the experience.

John, you're kilting me. :P Harassing the preparator automatically moves your job to the back of the que. At the rate you're moving it will never get started. :rofl:

 

P.S. I'm still waiting for the picture... you know the one I'm talking about.

  Here is my most favorite crab of all time.   A HUGE Tumidocarcinus gigantius from New Zealand, Miocene in age.   Only took me 110.5 hours to prep.

I'd really enjoy that.  Maybe it'll work out one of these days.

@Ludwigia awesome!! :wub:    Is that your profile picture?

 

You got it. Found in my favorite hunting ground in the Wutach Valley a few years ago.

This is one of my personal favorites. I consider the pair a single find because I found them at the same time approximately 5 feet apart. They are a macroconch and a microconch of Scaphites sp. preserved in pyrite from the Arcadia Park Formation of Dallas, TX.

@Ptychodus04 Nice. Looks like you dug up the family grave.

 

PS. Are you absolutely certain that they are macro and micro? There's not all that much difference in size.

 

PPS. I just did a quick bit of research and discovered that by the heteromorphs the size doesn't necessarily differ all that much but that the main difference is the thickness of the body chamber. Just learned something new.

My two favorites pale in comparison to those incredible finds :(

 

Anyways, here we go:

1) a partial lobster (missing head and tail), found at Lyme Regis (UK), from the early Jurassic, about 200 million years old. My first real find (found 5 years ago)

2) many of you have already seen this one: a woolly rhino (Coelodonta antiquatis) lower molar, from the Zandmotor (NL), from the Pleistocene, about 20'000 years ago. Probably my best find.

Congrats to all the other incredible finds!
