Ramo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Here are a couple of pictures I took this afternoon, when my wife and I went on a little fossil hunt. We didn't find any vert. stuff, except for this sleeping raccoon, that acted like a fossil. I threw 3 little rocks at him, and he just shrugged. 15 minutes later, we saw him running across the prairie. Even though we didn't find anything, we did enjoy the nice weather. Hope you enjoy the photos. (Wow!! What did I do? Those pictures are gi-normous. I'd be happy to reduce them if someone could explain how.) For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I see another one in background? Are there lots of these? Clearly, Kansas is unknown territory to me. Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage.

fossilselachian Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Are those pics from the Monument Rocks area? I spent some time there several years ago just enjoying the weathered chalk rocks. Very senic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Micro, I had to go back and look at the photo!! It's just a clam shell. Actually this place is about 200 miles from monument rocks. This is actually Fort Hays Limestone, not chalk. Unfortunately it is not know for having very many vert. fossils at all, but I still have to look!
