Cris Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thank you everybody! I really didn't expect it to win against all the other fantastic entries. I guess out of all the fossils I enjoy finding, cat material is probably my favorite. I'll be checking out that same area a lot better in the near future to see if there's more nice Pleistocene material and fortunately most of the stuff has that nice color that this canine does.
