mommabetts Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 No, I have not been there. I use to travel quiet abit before my husband passed 5 years ago, I have not left Texas since. I use to think that one day I would go to France but know I have gave up that dream. To look at your beautiful collection helps to bring me there in my dreams. They are amazing, with such detail, it is hard to believe that they were preserved so well for so long, and to see that you are helping to bring them out for the world to see is a good thing and I thank you for that.

Arthropod ,abdominal pieces Lievin France Wow, your collection is so extensive! I have been to St. Clair and have brought back many fern fossils from there. If you ever get the chance you should go. As you most likely already know they have beautiful white and orange specimens. The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always.

MikeD Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Bruno, you have some of the most amazing plant fossils that I have ever seen. Please keep sharing. I have a few fern leaves from St. Claire and they pale in comparison (literally because they are white). I got them from a friend that visited there. The only rocks I have from France are a few gallets from the Côte d’Azur. Momma, if you ever get the chance to go to France, you should. It was amazing and beautiful, the food was good, and the people were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wonderful that you have collected not just beautiful fossils, but a fossil forest!
