cowsharks Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Another angle. Thanks! Wow. That crab looks so life-like that I'm ready to break out the crab-pot and Old Bay seasoning - Yum! Those are some amazing looking colors and textures. Congrats. Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Is it 'against' the rules to 'bump' one's specimen into the next month when the selection is already saturated with excellence? Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32fordboy Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Crazy month! That Calvert meg is a stunner, too. Edited December 2, 2012 by 32fordboy www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowsharks Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Crazy month! That Calvert meg is a stunner, too. Nick, it's funny you should mention my Meg. I showed the pics of Meg and your Oreodont crushed leg-bone to a paleo-friend of mine (actually, my youngest son), and he's of he opinion, as crazy as it sounds, that my Meg tooth prolly bit down on the leg of your Oreodont as it strayed too close to shore. At least that's how my son explained it to me and of course I had to agree with him. Just kidding of course, but couldn't help laughing at my son's response. Congrats to all entrants and thanks to everyone for posting pics for all to enjoy. Without sharing, no one would get to enjoy in all the great finds! Daryl.
