Fossilis Willis Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 In all seriousness though, this last one is one of the best presents I’ve ever received. I’m am always humbled by the generosity of my fellow forum members, and this year is certainly no exception. A very sincere thank you to my Santa. This is a drawing of a crab I found and prepped a while back. I will dig the real one out later for comparison. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I reacted to Adam's picture above as I was catching up on the thread. Later I saw his comment stating this was Sconehenge. We must think alike. I also realized that I had forgotten to put in a Doren themed gift this year. It is something I try to do each year.

Top Trilo Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Indeed it is me who sent @Fossilis Willis's package! I'm glad you like it Will! Now that my identity is known I can say I completely forgot to write that all the petrified wood belongs to the family Lauraceae, from Arapahoe County CO. And my handwriting may be tough to read but the leaf is Fagopsis.

fifbrindacier Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 I received another parcel, i'm sure this time my Santa's name will be guessed quickly.

Meganeura Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Okay finally had time to open up my secret Santa! To start off - got some lovely Fossil trivia and coloring books, which I may have to use to convince some of my nieces and nephews to get into fossils… For the actual fossils: A really cool fossil scallop, an awesome gastropod, a beautiful ammonoid, a free floating crinoid, a trilobite head, and then 2 awesome hash plates! Thank you very much to my secret Santa, I love all of these, particularly the trilobites and the crinoid! So I’m going to take a wild guess and say this person is from N.Y… but outside of that, I really have no clue. 5 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for the game I can't match name to username, so it's still a guess.... except it's from New York! 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
