piranha Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It is truly a great honor for the flower fossil to join the list of winners. For extra perspective I searched through the previous FOTM contests month by month all the way back to JohnJ and the amazing Mammoth humerus that won the inaugural award. The scores of spectacular entries since then are overwhelming to the senses. This fossil will be treasured always with this fond memory attached. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and to all who participate and vote each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
