Northern Sharks Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Last week I won this cephalon from ebay. This is a rare bug from the same area where I regularly hunt, the Bobcaygeon Formation, although it comes from a quarry that was closed to the public before I got started. I won't hold my breath hoping the thorax is buried, but you never know. Either way, I'm happy. Great condition for what is there, just needs to be blasted a bit to really bring it out. It measures about 3.5 cm (1 3/8") across. There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 If I'm looking right that does have good possibilities for more to be there. Nice catch! ~Frank Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
