    You have had an epic year a raise of the glass to an even more epic one next year. I don't know if you remember me but the large bone fossil that I found and recovered from the North Saskatchewan River last year unfortunately crumbled over the summer even though it was stored under a carport. I have saved as many of the fragments that I could but it probably has no value for the museum now. The good news is that the Royal Tyrell museum is interested in seeing some of the other fossils I that I have collected. I haven't set up a meeting with them yet and having a good relationship with them is definitely on my bucket list. Good things to look forward to in the new year.

    Do you get your fossils from West Coast or Kaikoura region?

    Good stuff. I was curious how you document and report on these? Does some governing body in NZ require you to let them know where you picked these things up at even if you're allowed to remove them?
    Cheers and Happy New Year.
