FossilsAnonymous Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I love the Eldredgeops! My favorite things about the multiple plates are their randomness. Cool! Seen some other AMAZING entries as well! It'll be a hard vote. On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtskinner Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Wow, the competition is tough again this month! I feel like the rarity of this little guy is worth a shot though especially after missing the deadline by a few hours with a better example i found last month! I’ve searched a pretty good bit and have yet to find a similar piece so I'm leaning towards it being an undescribed species.
