Great finds. I must add that my entry was found associated with an unidentified turtle in another block. This block contains just articulated alligator bones.

Thanks, Daniel. I corrected the entry.

All those last minute entries made this more interesting!

Lots of good stuff here! One thing though, @JohnJ, the first entry say Late Mississippian (Late Carboniferous), but it should be Late Mississippian (Early Carboniferous). I may have messed it up on my entry...

Good luck to all participants!
