Thank you everyone!

I'll show my 'full hand' and what I've been doing in that formation soon but I want to stress it was a group effort.

My brother Dylan Hajzer helped me find the spot, which involved walking through a lot of sticker bushes and muck and years later, taking a walk with my mom, I found a different exposure which led to this.

Also a big thank you to forum members @Jeffrey P and @historianmichael as well as my friend David Lauer for going along with my crazy ideas and helping figure that spot out! Thanks again!

Frank Hajzer

Well Done.  A fossil hunt over time. Exceptionally rewarded.
