Cris Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The winner of the May 2012 Invert/Plant FOTM goes to.... Malcolmt's Eurypterus lacustris eurypterid from the Silurian Williamsville "A" Formation of Ontario, Canada. (Sorry for the delay on calling this! The contest totally slipped my mind.) Congratulations on Malcolmt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kehbe Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 A huge and hearty Gratz! Excellent fossil! It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.

Paleoworld-101 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Here i am hoping to buy a Eurypterid soon lol and you just find one like that. What a beauty.

Shamalama Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Congrats Malcom! Your now an expert at finding Eurypterids! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
