Someone has very likely already posted something similar to this, though a quick search didn't yield many results. So I thought I might give it a stab, and see if we get any bites. Also not sure if it belongs under general fossil discussion, but the admin gods will surely know...
Anybody got a first discovery they would like to share?
Maybe a childhood fossil, or your first significant (maybe just to you) find?
Do you still have that initial specimen? And maybe a story to go with it?
If you care to, please share here. Thanks.
