Thank you all for the votes and the congratulatory remarks. I know this fossil wouldn't have won without the excellent prep job done on that bug and the preparator deserves much of the credit. It has been a thrill since I first found out I was going to that quarry, and this is the icing on the cake.:D

Congrats Gus ! Probably the smallest fossilized eggs we could find. Associated with their species, it’s a must!
