Thanks for getting this up Chris! What an Insane month. Heads up though- there are 11 entries and the Uintacrinus are from the Late Cretaceous.

[Malcolmt]

Yes an amazing month, the eurypterids are upper Silurian not Devonian......

[TOM BUCKLEY]

I'm looking forward to meeting you at the quarry. Oh yeah......I definitely voted for your eurypterid. ARTHROPODS RULE!!!!!!!

Corrections made.

[Cris]

Thanks for the corrections, guys. Malcolm, you may want to go back and edit your original post that entered the eurypterids and change it to the correct age.

I still haven't decided what to vote for!

[Malcolmt]

Chris did go back to try that but it would not let me edit

[Cris]

Hm, odd. I went ahead and edited it for you. Excellent find, by the way. I've got one of those on my "fossil bucket list"

[CH4ShotCaller]

Incredible specimens. I narrowed it down to 2 and had difficulty with a decision. I even considered creating a secondary account (LOL, just kidding)! Thanks to Chris and all participants!

My vote going for the ammo with its apophyse, definitly a killer.

[Missourian]

The IPFOTM is just too difficult this time. Too many top-notch choices....

[KansasFossilHunter]

That Starfish is Killer!
