A Special Congratulations To Dynelle Longto
Second member to win both the > Best Self Collected & Judges Choice Plaques !
Both specimens are from Sharon, VT ,,, and from the same day ,,, (What a Good day) ! ! !
The Polymorphic (meaning many distinct shaply forms hooked together) Clay Concretion was very aesthetic.
The Concretion with Leaf Fossil, was actually very special in form and detail ! ! !
