It's butt and tail are showing and the head is looking off left. But I guess a fossil pig is ok.

While sorting through the buckets yesterday,I found another one,but it has a fracture in the rock close to the fossil(same critter),I'm going to break it out of the metrix.
Should be able to get the fossil out and get a better look....."cross fingers" LOL

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
