It is hard to beat the variety found in this group of fossils. But you may feel like you have had a beating after trying to decide your favorite for IPFOTM. :D

The poll ends on Friday, April 6th. You can also vote in our other Poll HERE.

All very nice finds, but this one was easy for me.

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

All of these finds are amazing, but the crab just blows my mind. How the heck do you take a nodule, crack it open, and then prep out such an amazing looking specimen from the rock? What amazing color and detail. Makes finding shark teeth laying out on the beach look like child's play.

God I hate it when I can't even vote for my own submission.... Sheesh!

But I have to say, that is one heck of a crab!

It's hard to place a claw, despite the almost 20 years it took to find it, above a complete INCREDIBLE crab like that one...

Congrats to everyone!
