jax Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 So today I took my son out for his first fossil hunt ever. At 1 1/2 he didnt do too bad. The weather was hot, and the rocks were everywhere. We managed to find a handful of nice Ptychodus teeth, a nice tooth in the matrix, and a fish tooth of some kind. I learned my lesson early when I walked in front of my son and got nailed by a rock.... yep, the boy has got an arm! Not a bad haul for about an hours worth of hunting. justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceH Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I see that locality is still kicking out teeth after it rains. Last time I looked I found nothing! Hopefully Me and Rozilla can get over that way after we've checked a million other spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many houses being built, which is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The boy looks like he's totally involved in what he's doing; 1 1/2 is the age of discovery, where the boundaries are the physical world and time does not exist yet. What was his first fossil? Or did he bean you with it?

What was his first fossil? Or did he bean you with it? He didnt exactly find any fossils, but everything "we" found went on display for mom when she got home. It was just great to have him out there with me. Soon he will be finding everything and leaving me with nothing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a page from tracer's playbook re: TJ's collection-sharing, and don't do those things!
