 * Support as nominator --J Milburn (talk) 00:10, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Nice nomination and very nice work. First, as Sarah Palin might say: “This is really ‘scientificy’.” As such, it would certainly cast Wikipedia in a fine light for 24 hours. But more, it is seldom there is a fossil with so much soft tissue fossilized—and with so much fossil/matrix color differentiation; that is just awesome. And finally, the lighting angle is great and the resolution is very high. Kudos to H. Zell for such an outstanding contribution to the project. Greg L (talk) 01:44, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
