Nice Job Congratulations

It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.

Wow! I can't believe I won! Thanks to everyone who voted for my fossil and thank you to the other entries for making this a great month of fossils! I am humbled that my fossil was good enough to become VFOTM and even more surprised that I won considering I'm mostly and Invert collector (and personality). Next time I get up there I will find a whole fish, head and all!

Congrats on the win! Neat to see a fossil from the Red Hill site get a win. Folks from the MGS club I belong to go up to that site during the year and other than an occasional fish scale or partial tooth I haven't heard of something like this being found.
