New Members Fsrumm Posted July 8, 2008 New Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 These are from my first trip of the year that i got on vacation, they are from the Florasant fossil quarry near the Florisant fossil beds park. These arn't that good though cuase i was limited to only 1 hour looking, but unlike the other people in my group i was able to find what i think are some interesting things: I found 4 bugs, 2 of them small, but one good one, and one incomplete hard to identify one ( it looks like maybe the top part of a dragonfly), and then lots of other plant parts: leafs, one pine needle, wood, plant parts, and maybe a bud/berry thing that im not sure on. nice bug leaf bud/berry/cone? dragonfly top part maybe? plant part pine needle bug another bug plus I hope i did those pictures right, I was really confused on hpw to do them right.

Auspex Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Only an hour? You hit the right spot. for sure! Did you get to the museum there? I love the preservation in that ash, though I only have one fossil from there (a feather).

New Members Fsrumm Posted July 8, 2008 Author New Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 I went to the park there yes and hiked to see the petrified wood. And a feather is cool, in the quarry i was at they said someone had found one bird, but that they were VERY rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
