The Winner of the June 2016 Invertebrate / Plant Find Of The Month is the Didontogaster cordylina polychaete worm from the Late Carboniferous Francis Creek shale of Illinois, U.S.A.! For his second win in the contest, I happily congratulate Charlie (fossilized6s) on an outstanding find from the Francis Creek fauna! :yay-smiley-1:

Thank you all that voted for this beautiful specimen. I'm blessed to be able to find these wonderful fossils. It never ceases to amaze me how something that is 300myo can be preserved so beautifully.

June was a bit slow for invertebrates, so let's get out and find some real stunners in July! Happy hunting and good luck, Fossil friends.

Congratulations, Charlie! You have successfully completed the OTM trio of merit badges (IPFOTM, VFOTM and MOTM). Now, all you have to do is set your sights on the Golden Drool Bucket (GDB) award which would look real good under your profile. :)

Cheers.

WTG Charlie! I'm still freezing & thawing.....maybe one day....but in the mean time I'm still smiling every time a jelly pops out. :-)

thanks, everyone! i really appreciate the kind words.

I'm afraid my collection isn't "golden drool bucket" worthy......yet. No telling what a few years can bring. ;)
