[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 23707, member: 378"] Hi Alex, I'll send you an email as that way we can get a few possible threads started (it's a ten post minimum to upload photos). We're still all living in the Ridge, though Dave is about to start traveling around the country soon. Both, Dad (Alan) and Dave send their kind regards and best wishes to you! Dad and I were still mining right up until 2010 but, as we are now in a constant battle with the DPI and their OH&S regulations we decided to regretfully call it quits after almost fifty years in the opal game (Dad and Dave first started mining here on and off in 64). I have to confess we actually don't own any good photos of the jawbone (other than the few small ones I have in fossil books) and would greatly appreciate a copy or two if possible. Dave had recently given most of his left over fossil belongings and all his associated literature of the Stereopdon etc. to the new Opal and Fossil Centre project that is due for construction here at some point in the near future. If all goes as planned that will be a great asset to the Ridge and Opalised Fossils alike. Anything we can do to spread the word of the scientific importance of some of these rare finds is a real asset to all Mankind. All the best, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
