I believe the mazon creek plant is nueropteris (i didn’t send it).

Monica Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Santa dropped off a package for Viola today - hooray! Here are some pictures: Viola opening up her box o' goodies (with Gilbert photobombing the event): Viola showing off her two favourite pieces in the box - a pretty trilobite and a modern mako tooth: (My favourite is a little rock with two tiny prone Flexicalymene sp. on it - adorable!!!!!) All of the specimens that somehow managed to fit in the box - amazing!!! As you can see, Viola is over the moon with this nice little collection - thanks so much, Secret Santa!!!

Macrophyseter Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I decided to check the tracking number of my fellow receiver, and looks like it was already delivered 2 days ago. Too bad that he's probably not gonna post his usps finds for everyone to enjoy, but at least he'll have a merry Christmas gift for the entire holiday season! 2 If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have a notification from the post office that something has arrived. It has no date but was delivered to my neighbours'. I must now go to the post office to collect it. Not sure when i'll be able to go, ho hum! It must either be the Secret Santa from here or the Tortoise Forum.

VTinNorthAB Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Eeeeek!!!! I received my Secret Santa gift this afternoon and I will say that I am incredibly grateful for everything! Everything is so unbelievably awesome and I’m completely gobstruck! It’s so hard to choose a favourite piece but I will say that eoderoceras is simply stunning! I am blessed and honoured to receive the handmade card! Someone has an insanely talented wife My 3 year old has continuously tried to liberate it from the box...claims it needs to be on her shelf.
