Fifty Favorite Fossil Finds (okay....150)


JamieLynn

Recommended Posts

Today is my 50th birthday so I wanted to select my fifty favorite fossil finds to present. But....because I am obsessive, I couldn't settle on just 50. So here's 150.  My favorite 150 fossil finds. :) And there's still more - but then it would be 250 or 555...I don't know.  Anyways, enjoy. Mostly Texas, some from Utah, Florida, North Carolina, New York and England (denoted by the state initials or UK). Almost all were found by me, except about 4 which were gifted to me. 

 

I did actually narrow it down to 50...initially.

But then I had to do pages for the rest of them because I didn't want them to feel left out....

Happy big day.  Are the pix all done on a scanner?  They look good.  

I like this idea...I turn 60 this summer....

It could be a challenge to pick out the top 60... or 160.  And then I would have to find them all.... Yikes.

Happy Birthday JamieLynn!!! Where do you find the time to collect that many wonderful fossils????? You are way too young to be retired with time on your hands.  Your presentation of the top fossils is great.

Happy belated birthday Jamie! I see why you couldn’t narrow it down to just 50. Great collection! :)

Well, as a "working artist".....I have had a LOT of time on my hands lately! All my work has been shut down! So I am trying to use my time wisely.....by fossil hunting!
