Well I just got back from a walk with Maximus. I had no idea that it was 33 outside but it had rained and as I metioned once before thats when I like to go out, when everything is washed off and stands out.
My friend who lives close saw me down near the stream, and thought she needed to pull over to say "you'll never find a husband doing stuff like that" . I told her I wasn't looking for a husband I was looking for fossils and she needed to go to work and leave me to enjoy my day off, befor
Well today while waiting for my sister at her doctor appointment I thought I would kill some time by checking out a lot next door.
I had my dog Maximus with me which I so brilliantly used as a front so I woulndt look like a crazy lady stuffing rocks in her pocket Instead I was just the lady walking her dog stuffing rocks in her pocket
any who... the lot is huge and littered with stuff. Amazingly I was able to find a few things despite Maximus pulling me in every direction.
so here is
I went out yesterday for about 30 minutes just to check on one of my spots and it looked good. The gravel beds we're turned over a bit so that was cool. I was tired after work, but I did take pics as I found stuff.
It is getting old finding the same kind of stuff I must admit. I found one thing I need help with the ID I think it maybe coral. I'll go back on my day off if the weather is good, or better yet take a day trip somewhere.
last week I went back one morning to find that some areas of the strata had fallen. Even as I stood there rocks continued to fall. I made sure I was careful but I wanted to see if the fossils I saw before had crumbled but I found them intact. I did notice that one was about to go and I was able to save it

ok this is my thrid time trying to type is entry. so im going to keep it short and sweet.
Overnight it rained while I was at work. When I got off I went to a site next to a home Depo of all places.
I like going after it rains because the layers are defined and the fossils stand out after being washed clean.
This Strata is like no other i have found in the area. It has what appears to be a layer of ash. with round rosette shaped patterns in it. No signs of any fossils in this layer.

I went out hunting yesterday I found a great site in Rivergate, TN at a construction site. The contractor came over to see what I was looking for. When I said fossils he said that was a first. He said last week a guy was looking for arrowheads. So I showed him a brachiopod I had just found and he thought it was cool and said he had no idea Tn was once an ocean. he said he thought it was just limestone and granite I said to him when yor not looking for the fossils you wont see them but when yo
Today I went hunting in a stream in Hendersonville, TN. I took some co-workers who wanted to see why I'm so fossil crazy, and now they are hooked. We are going back thursday . I found my largest crinoid stem to date which made my day. below is a picture of some of what I found. The white one with holes in it, I need help with the ID. I never found one like it before
