JMUFossil Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 what a meg! Love the coloration. That would be a treasure at 2", but a monster like that is one of a kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSRhunter Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Great find and coloration I too have been to Bakersfield and I'm still looking for that giant like yours! I bet you were absolutely stoked when you saw that. Gotta go find an even bigger one now! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Your wife sounds like a very special woman, that although she found it, she gave you the honor of removing it, because she loves you and wanted you to have that experience more than she wanted to have it for herself.
