JohnJ Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The Winner of the December 2014 Invertebrate / Plant Find Of The Month is the Euphoberia sp. spiny millipede from the mid-Pennsylvanian Francis Creek Shale (Mazon Creek) of Illinois, U.S.A.! Congratulations to digit (Ken) on his rare discovery and second win in the FOTM contests! The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Congratulations, Ken! Neat find and story! Thanks! You know you can ALWAYS count on a story from me. I'm quite honored to have picked up my second FOTM in less than a year. I blame that mostly on an incredible streak of luck that seems to follow me around. Actually, I have Rob Russell to thank for organizing a birthday Mazon Creek outing for me and my wife up at Pit 2. A number of other TFF members joined us to make it a really memorable trip. I encourage everybody to contact other TFF members and plan a fossil hunting trip with them in 2015. In addition to learning a lot from others, the social aspect of meeting up with this forum's best asset--its members--really increases the enjoyment factor by a substantial amount. As is usual, this month's entries (both vertebrate and otherwise) were all really nice and incredibly diverse. It was quite the competition against that lignite pinecone (which I personally voted for). I'd have been happy to have found any of the entries--or even to have been there when they were discovered. It really made my day--or night--or whatever it is right now. I'm reading this at Gate 28 in the Incheon airport (Seoul, South Korea) enroute to Koror, Palau for a month of coral reef research. (I do have a lot of varied hobbies.) Thanks again for the additional icon under my name. My favorite little spiny millipede will be displayed in a place of honor in a Mazon Creek shadowbox I'm working on (photos once I return home). Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
