Nice! I enjoy working with museums as you can get in on opportunities you otherwise couldn't. Love to see an image of the cast when it finally comes your way.

 

Cheers.

The rewards of being part of the process to further our fossil knowledge should always outweigh the pride of keeping an important fossil in our personal collection. Having a cast of the item gives you the best of both worlds--you can have your cake crab and donate it too.

 

 

Cheers.

It's funny you crossed out cake because I actually celebrated with crab cakes so I guess I got the best of all those applicable worlds!

 

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks Joseph!

 

The paper was actually already published (the link to it is on my first post in this thread, right above my pictures).
