The Winner of the April 2016 Invertebrate / Plant Find Of The Month is the Torynomma quadrata crab from the Lower Cretaceous of Queensland, Australia! This world-traveling decapod holds a special meaning to its owner. Congratulations to Skyelar (Jesuslover340) on her second win in the contest! :1-SlapHands_zpsbb015b76:
