Fossildude19 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Great fossil! I've moved this to MEMBER COLLECTIONS, as you don't appear to need an ID for this.

Roby Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Campground is still closed. This was found years before it was closed. Most places have pretty much been torn up even back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I see, thank you for clarifying. I should have known better- you said discovered 2019, but of course with Mazon Creek fossils "discovery" is most often not when it was first collected.
