RomanK........Loveley colours, I always remember seeing some dried weed shaddows on a piece of shale containing plant fossils, i often regret not taking any images.... even though it was 300 million years the time difference, they looked so similar.....

Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... :)

Nice Pictures!!!!!! Your third picture reminds me of a horrible experience I had (Its kinda funny now but not then)When I first got into fossil hunting My father took me to the Mountains in California.We had found so many interesting things and I was hooked!!!!!! Near the end of our hunt I saw a beautiful plate with what had to be hundreds of shells in it, I just had to have it and boy did I get it !!!!!! My father decided to help me with my find since it was too large for me to flip over and way to large for my pack.Then it happened, just as my father flipped over the find A huge cloud enveloped us. A very large Yellow Jacket nest was under the plate. I bet I had about 100 stings and my heroic father had knocked me down trying to get away lol. He did go back when he noticed I was not right on his heels to help me, after he heard my whimpering. I had never heard my dad cuss so much. Ever since then I do look before I flip anything over. Lesson learned !!!!!!!!! And no before anyone asks the plate is still in the mountains for all I know.post-2185-12549232743899_thumb.jpg
