Shamalama Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Is there more info on this Fossil Fest? Are they allowing access into the Aurora pit? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greel Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'll be there. I'm a member of the Friends of the Museum Club and attend every year. I love digging the fresh reject piles, seeing all the great displays and even sitting through the auction although I can't afford to place any bids. The speakers were very good last year, too. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorefossil Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Greel we need to dig together, i have always been wanting to meet the great white king in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessed1 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 We will be heading down Wednesday or Thursday to help set up and maybe take a walk in a local creek or mine to see what we might find. Then we will be helping out on Saturday and of course attending the auction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greel Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Greel we need to dig together, i have always been wanting to meet the great white king in person Sounds like a plan to me. You can visit my FB page (Gerald-Karen Reel) to get an idea of who to look for in the piles. I'm the gray-haired ugly guy standing in front of the Gulf of Mexico. Obsessed1 knows who I am, if you need somebody to point me out. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Menser Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 I get the feeling that the hardest thing to spot will be those piles with all the hunters on top... Look for me in the display rooms. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawooten Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 We will be going this year Ernie and Linda Wooten. I am hoping to get together at Black Beards Oyster Bar and Restaurant HWY 17 in Washington, NC just 30 moments north of Aurora. Would be great to see our old friends and meet up with some new ones. We had a blast last year and hope to get an even bigger group this year. Allen the owner would like a head count of everyone. We could do Friday or Saturday night or both just let me know what works for you. Let me know who would like to come. They serve great food and for those who do not like fish they serve other great dishes. Sure would like to spend some time with our fossil friends. The best days are spent collecting fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 see you there Megateeth We were there from 10-1 and could not find you. Nor was the museum staff aware of you. Hopefully better luck on the fesitval. i I do hope all of you that are going take a peek in the museum itself. They had some pretty cool goodies including some discount books. We left with a couple 2" plus Enchodus teeth some whale material and a nice croc tooth. The auction items are on display...LOOK OUT! Collected a bit in the piles. Great place to find nice whale verts. Most people who go there toss them aside (their loss) In all a good preview visit. Be true to the reality you create.
