Collector9658 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Very cool to have seen the journey this specimen has gone through. Congratulations on your great prep getting the attention it deserves @Ptychodus04. I've been frequenting Illinois a lot lately, I might just have to take a trip to Chicago and see it in person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to checkup every once in a while on their current displays and plan a weekend trip there when it's certainly out for view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 That's awesome! The Field has an incredible Green River collection and display already, so this feels like a perfect home for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have the largest GRF collection in the world. I’m glad it’s going to them.
