Hi Matt! It's really good to hear from you :)

Looks like the creek has been good to you this year! I like the brachiopod plate; it has at least two species?

Well done, Matt.

I agree with Auspex, the hash plate is very nice!

Excellent hash plate, so well presented. It was so nice of those brachs to pose like that for you. My finds aren't near that quality. Congrates!

Not to nit pick about a cool fossil, but I would argue that it is not a hash plate. Hash plate to me implies lots of broken pieces of critters. Those braces look too nice to be hash.
