Nimravis Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I did a little collecting today, found a lot of nice concretions, below are some “in-situ” pictures of concretions and a few pics of some of the open stuff that I found- all Flora. Most of the concretions and the fossils that will be included, will be posted in my “Sometimes you have to whack it“ post. Hopefully this contains a beautiful fern. m Edited August 21, 2022 by Nimravis 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meganeura Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Even the ones found in the field are so pretty! 1 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Oh, boy, there's going to be some nice stuff in those! I can't wait to see them. They should open within 2 or 3 cycles from the looks of them. They have the look of having been exposed to the weather for quite some time. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, some I will freeze, but I will probably whack open the majority of them. I have been separating out full concretions versus the ones that are not complete. I will start with the incomplete ones, and they should yield some nice pieces of flora. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
