[JohnJ]

I've often said while out fossil hunting, I would not want to be in a "geologic event"...even a small scale one! I'm not sure if this month's 'avalanche' of entries qualifies...but we will all have difficulty choosing a favorite this time. Good luck to all entrants.

I believe this was the toughest choice I have ever had to make for VFOTM. Sorry to those I did not vote for, there were numerous worthy finds this month.

You could always do what I did -- Put on a blindfold and throw a dart at the computer screen!
