When I was young I used to see the baby Spotted Eagle Rays swimming in t...

Yeah, I was kind of gone for a while wasn't I. There was a good reason for that though.

Headed over to Penn Dixie. The trilobite bed is covered with overburden as the site is not ready for the season. Picked through lots of weathered shale and found tons of...
