Agree, it is an amazing thing to merely make such a find,  but then to also have the skills to bring it out of the rock and restore to something fantastic and rare...

Congrats!

 

This one wins as much for the outstanding prep job as the awesomeness of the find. Thanks for taking your time to prep this piece so nicely and then sharing it with us.

 

 

Cheers.

Tres bien.  J'ai voter pour le tiens.  Un petit croco ou un crane et madibule de mamifere?  Il n'y pas de competition, vraiment.  Felicitations.

Congratulations! That's a really cool skull :) 

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

Now THAT's what I call a bonehead! :P

 

A skull to die for. Superb!

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
