digit Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 As close as a VFOTM has been in a while. Congrats to Jeff for a huge mammoth tooth that will be HIS FOTM for some time. Congrats to Tony on a cool whale tooth (not pathological it seems but oddly beautiful nonetheless). Hope to make it back out to Shark Tooth Hill soon so you can show me where all the nice whale teeth are hidden. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
