Cris Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 This month's invertebrate award goes to the seven inch long Isotelus maximus trilobite from the Late Ordovician Georgian Bay Formation of Toronto, Canada. Congratulations to TMNH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMNH Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thank you for the acknowledgement!!! I have been hoping for some time that I could find something that might measure up against the spectacular finds that are always posted in this contest. I probably spent longer on this project than I have working on any other fossil so far and it is certainly a favourite find and a centerpiece for my collection. In case you're interested, I managed to fit a few more tiny bits into place more recently. Here is a picture of the specimen now: Thanks again for your votes and also congratulations to all of the collectors who posted their impressive finds last month!
