With that said, have fun and vote

2. Goniophorus scotti echinoid (LanceHall)

3. 6.3 Meg tooth (Megateeth)

4. Fossil pearl (Jax)

5. Mammoth humerus (JohnJ)

6. Megachasma (Notorynchus)

[Ron E.]

Humerus is amazing, but I'll vote for the perfect #3.

[Frank Menser]

Gotta go with the mammoth #5

[CreekCrawler]

Gotta go with the mammoth #5

Ditto!!

[Nicholas]

Absolutely number 5!

[Auspex]

There is not one fossil here that I don't covet; heck, I feel pretty smug just being this close to them .

At first, I was wringing my hands because I wanted everyone to win; thinking about it, they already have .

Well done! Mega kudos to all!!

i'm kinda upset. i was outside walking to my car, and i was flipping a quarter to decide how to vote and it went down in a grate and i lost it. so now i'm out a quarter cause of ya'll!

<looking exasperated - obviously jealous because he didn't find anything cool, and still mad about being shorted three days as member of the month by being it in february>

i flipped another quarter and it landed on its edge and stayed that way. what do i do?

you know, i just realized that if john wins this, he could actually share a piece of his fossil with each of us and still keep quite a bit for himself. that would be the fair thing to do...

[Ron E.]

I just read the story behind the humerus at the blog where it was posted, and I must respectfully suggest that it be the no-brainer Obvious Winner, and perhaps the real competition should be which fossil found in August which is NOT a 1-in-a-million shot is the Fossil of the Month.

The mammoth humerus is great, but, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to fossils and my vote has to go for #3.

[Cris]

I voted for JohnJ, but I have to say.... 6.3" meg is a cloooose second in my book.

I think it means that you can read minds until it gets knocked over. See The Twilight Zone episode "A Penny For Your Thoughts" for reference.

These are all fantastic fossils and I would love to have found any of them. Tough choice.

There's a Forum member in Hungary laughing at the little bone found in Texas.

there's a forum member in east texas installing a tracking device on your car.

[Terry Dactyll]

Your right.... Such a difficult decision... . I like all the entries equally, although the pearl intrigues me, to spot that and know what it is, fantastic... the tooth is WOW.... but the mammoth.... Very good find indeed.... I concur...Its a close race...

[worthy 55]

Their all great fossils but that meg is one of the best I have seen in awhile.

[Traviscounty]

Hah! I had the same idea.

[jimmy1971]

Mammoth #5 with the Meg a close second.

[lordpiney]

the mammoth is cool, but my vote goes to the meg.

[Guest solius symbiosus]

Even though there was no Paleozoic representatives, y'all can probably guess how my vote went.

[LanceH]

I'm hoping the ladies will vote for the most visually dazzling one (my echie)

[Coco]

I done it Lance, I done it !

[jax]

[MOROPUS]

[Auspex]

In terms of votes-per-pound, the pearl is in the lead!
