Today, with my father we went to a beach in the Central coast of Chile, in a famous Chilean Paleontology cretaceous site (Los tubos beach) some people know that fossil collecting here in Chile is baned, so I only take pictures of the fossils. The bad part is that the water is so cold so i can't dive to search more in-deep water fossils (I hate cold water ) Enjoy the pictures!

How sweet it is to be seen by you! My youngest decided to get thrifty with his BOMAD spending, despite repeated “requests to do otherwise” (BOMAD = Bank of Mom and Dad) Nonetheless, I think this is a VAST improvement visually. Sorry for the overenthusiasm? NAH!

Uncertain if this is from Ocean City or Tel Aviv (minor difference!)... life has been a bit chaotic, and sadly some of my rocks were moved from where they were well organized. (House cleaning to make room so my returning, adult children can have “their rooms back”... jeepers!) Avoiding humans for 5 minutes last night, I noticed three interesting rocks I have not shared before. (I will refer to this as #1 of the 3). Very small but fascinating to me, with both a clear fossil and a clear, smaller imprint, immediately next to the fossil. There are numerous possible other fossils and imprints “around the rock and just below the surface.” Did I ID correctly? Is it possibly from anywhere other than Maryland/Ocean? Possible age? The largest, deepest of the fossils appears to be either Ginko or “The Snoopy Happy Dance” (And.... I hopefully receive a new magnification “toy” today that will literally “make a huge difference in EVERYTHING!”) Thank you- Karen
