Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Hey Matt, 

Glad to hear you are getting out fossil hunting. :) 

Thanks for posting this! 

That is a nice Mucrospirifer grouping there. 

I love it when a rock is so full of fossils!  :D

It's nice to not have to travel far to find super nice specimens like this.
