Definitely a hard choice...and I still can't believe that Isotelus sp from Tennessee was just laying there. So AMAZING luck! Lol

...I'm back.

Not easy by any means, looks like a bunch of winners :fistbump:

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

Oh boy this is a hard one... I second @StormDancer's idea of more than one pick ;)

Seriously, they're all excellent finds!

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

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

That's why they were all FOTM winners. ;)

 

The monthly (and yearly) contest is more than just a way of doling out a small digital badge to members who have found enviable fossils, it is a grand showcase for the diversity and beauty of fossils that can be (and were) found by our members. I'd be over the moon to have been able to add to my collection any of the slate of entries shown above. There can be but one winner though so I'd suggest running a controlled experiment by imagining discovering each of the entries and voting for the most drool producing. :drool::P

 

Cheers.
