Mike from North Queensland Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Thank you one and all. It is a wonderful thing to have one’s peers appreciate a small but rare find for the Australian Mesozoic period. Congratulations’ to the other members who's fossils were also in the Fossil of the Month as this win was by no means clear cut as there were many desirable fossils to pick from. Thanks to those members who lobbied for my find due to its rarity as the competition is for the most desirable find not necessarily the rarest, largest or best of its type. Also due to the rarety I am in the midst of arranging for the fossil to be described and donated to the Museum near where it was found.
