Guest solius symbiosus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ^I wish that I could have snapped one of you when you were trying to protect your finds with your arm when the face of that rock gave way. Brock had been setting his finds off to the side, when suddenly about a 1/2 ton of shale broke free from the face of the outcrop. Instinctively, he threw his arm and shoulder into the way of the down coming rock. It looked real painful, but he only received a few cuts.

tracer Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Wow. I want to find a dinosaur bone before my life is over. Actually, the thought of just running away to LOOK for one is pretty much a blissful consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Siphuncle Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 What the heck is that????And what is it holding? I endured a day of artifact digging in "black lung" conditions and took home the flint drill pictured plus some other goodies. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

screweduptexan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I wish the avatars would enlarge when clicked on; there are so many beauties I'd like a really good look at. Like me? Just kidding....I know you are talking about fossils. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a reason to go back to Wyoming now. Actually, I know of a few cool places to hunt in WY. Once, my best friend from college and I were fossil hunting and she found a full fish imprint/fossil "thing" and took it back to her professor. Apparantly, it was either very rare in that area or a new species. I'll have to ask her what happened with it. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet.

screweduptexan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 This is from the Blue Forest collecting petrified wood out in southwest Wyoming last summer. My husband and I actually made a nice little rock garden in our front yard that was full of petrified wood. Some of the wood was really cool as it was almost amberish/coalish in appearance. The stuff was so common where we lived at in WY, that no one knew the difference. We found some really big stuff too. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sceweduptexan, I LOVED the four times I have collected in Wyoming. Mammals in the East, near Lusk and Fish in the West, Kemmerer. Would also love to get back there for a month of collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screweduptexan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Where we lived and collected was litterally out in the middle of NOWHERE. Actually, we sort of joked that it was the "armpit of the universe". We would go to an isolated resevoir and litterally find fossils and fish and leaf/bark imprints everywhere. I'll have to dig up my imprint and post it sometime. Once we save some mulah, I'll have to go out there again. Of course, it will have to be the summertime as everything's probably covered in snow now. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet.

Auspex Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 What is that you are holding? That's just a little old chunk of Mastodon jaw, with tooth! His photos should come with a warning for those with weak hearts.

JohnJ Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Here's another favorite... So, that's where you find the good stuff...by the big tree, little tree, and 2 medium trees with the floating sticks nearby! I thought I recognized it.... That's a great shot.
