I have to thank a team of friends and colleagues who help behind the scenes with research, creation of size charts and conversation partners when it comes to deciding on the compositions of these pieces. Their help has been invaluable!

Can we get around the 30 image limit by reposting with a new image to the thread each week? We shall see. Mazon Creek now, Toolebuc formation this Saturday.
