Hi Folks,
Great report. Thanks for sharing your photos with people (like me) who didn't have time to visit the show. I hope you'll post some more in the coming days.

I will, but I need time (probably weeks) to do it. Hopefully on the meantime other FMFers cover my lack...

An unexpected new find. Very peculiar Plancheites (analyzed) from some place around Musonoi MIne, Kolwezi, R.D. Congo. Not only peculiar, but also very nice!

....but the genuine Bat was this one, the real "killer" of the whole Show. ;-)
He was hidden in a case at one of the dealers at the Inn Suites, and as soon he saw Jamie, he gone out trying to sell a rock to her, as you can notice in the photo! ;-) |

At the InnSuites-Tucson City Center Hotel during the breakfast time was a gratuity of the local newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star ( https://azstarnet.com/ - 240,000 readers)
I read it every day and I kept few news that I would like to share as a kind of "paper" vision of the Show and the Tucson's vicinity.
If the text is too small to be read you can use the zoom of your browser, the image size is enough to permit the read if using the zoom.
