snolly50 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Here is the fossil bounty that snolly received. Who can discern the generous Secret Santa behind this gift?!? Santa facts: This jolly old elf appears to reside in an area where the Earth yields evidence of life, that by anyone's standards is really "old," e.g. It ain't Florida. This Kringle takes the science side of fossil collecting seriously. Look at the detailed ID and pertinent info accompanying each fossil! This St Nicholas is either very gracious and forgiving; or he (or she) is not linked to the Official Naughty/Nice Data Bank. Nothing else could explain how snolly qualified for a present. Thank you Santa, your gift of the Season is appreciated and gratefully received. 9 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum.
