Thanks, Galvasean. I've been a long time lurker on Boards and I've had an interest in fossils, science and evolution since I was a kid. My granduncle was a landscape gardener in the UK and he was nice enough to give me a prehistoric horse tooth and a wicked 80 million year old petrified tree stump.:D I was hooked.

See you around!
