Thanks everyone!!  I think I was very lucky to find this one, and again Malcolm did exceptional work to repair the damage my hammer did and restore the beauty of this gem.

Thanks again everybody!

I want to give a shout out to the Hamburg Natural History Society for their foresight and ongoing effort to preserve the Penn Dixie site and allowing such excellent access to collectors.  It would have been terrible had the site been converted to a garbage dump  or a housing development.  Thisuld be a model for threatened sites everywhere.
