How pretty! Thank you for sharing this collection.
Thank you, Kate.
Wonderful collage, Graham.
Thank you, David. Best wishes for new year’s to you and your family!
Thanks – and best wishes to you and to your family.
Hope to see you in Brandon again soon for some more ‘jellies’ paleontological microscopy!
David, absolutely, there is some that I would really like to do, and soon. I may well have jury duty in January and February, though, and that puts a bit of a crimp on things!
Very nice presentation !
Best Wishes to 2012 …. awaiting your papers on the findings at the Manitoba Ordovician ….

Peter, I am awaiting those papers too! But I hope it won’t be too long – we are putting the finishing touches to two manuscripts.
Fantastic! : )
