Archimedes Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I decided to collect fossils yesterday, so I took the day off of work to wander around the county where they have been putting in water lines. I found some possum, raccoon, and skunk tracks but the elusive turkey was nowhere to be found, and Thanksgiving is coming. I did find this rock though with a fossil and decided to take it home with me because I had to have something to show for my day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archimedes Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Is that the way you found it, or are you the fastest prepper on the planet? Gorgeous! Yes it was found just like the Picture, the photo was taken a few minutes after I found it, just before I removed the other end of the 150 lb rock. When they back filled the water line trench they left three 150- 200 lb 8 inch thick rocks on the bank this summer, and this crinoid was in the corner of the middle rock.
