    I don't understand this Chithuluichtuchtuihcutch thing at all, but that is a great look and those are beautiful accessories. Congratulations!

    But to be totally biologically correct, dermal denticles are scales. Scales came first in the evolution of the vertebrates...long before there were jaws in which to mount teeth the jawless fishes protected themselves with scales. Teeth were modified from scales, not the other way round.

    And compared to both teeth and scales, hair appeared last weekend.

    So congratulations to you, Ryan, on matching the tartan honoring the ancient one with the oldest of all possible vertebrate epidermal elaborations.

    Though if we wore it formally and some Kilt Kop did object, we could always just sacrifice them. . .

    Looks fantastic, Ryan! And I agree that the stingray sporran should work well for both evening and day wear.

    Re: Sporran of the Deep- A Ferguson Britt Christmas...

    I love the sporran.
    I have to ask...what part is it, where the white "slot" mark is on the animal?
    or is that added for fun?

    It's a spiny (until ground down a wee bit) dorsal ridge.
