Family Fun Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I was able to meet with Daniel and his parents at a pay site on 12/3/2022, and the finds did not disappoint, at least for me. First of all, Daniel and his family were amazing folks. His parents were probably closer to my age, maybe even a bit younger, haha. That said, Daniel’s playlist was spectacular, it was late 60s and early 70s soft rock, it made the trip extra special. This was my first time to this site, and clearly a different type of finding fossils. Working for them was harder than I expected, but not too difficult. Here is are my three favorite finds of the day. And thank you again Daniel, I look forward to another trip early next year. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And come in shades from lighter blue to darker. These were our Megs. The smallest of which my mom found and didn’t even realize was a Meg until I pointed it out.

Family Fun Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 It was my best finds to date, so beyond happy with the results. Besides meeting Daniel and his family, an old high school friend went with me and here were his finds of the day. I thought his horse tooth was extra nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It is always a special treat to meet up with fossil friends for a hunt. I’m glad you and Daniel had a great time. Oh, and nice finds too!

Bjohn170 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I just did my first dig there on Thursday! It was a great time, found some real pretty teeth, shame the bigger ones were missing the tips. Can’t wait to go again. Great finds guys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
