JohnJ Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The Winner of the March 2011 Vertebrate Find Of The Month is the very rare Ischyrhiza mira sawfish rostrum from the Upper Cretaceous Ripley Formation in Alabama, USA! Congratulations to long time member dirtdauber (George) on his 'jaw dropping' find and prep! Thanks for a glimpse at more of a creature of which many only find a small part! Thanks to everyone else that shared your finds with The Fossil Forum. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
