Hello! My name is Ann Cooper and I wanted to stop in and introduce myself. 

I am originally from Indianapolis, but I have lived in Utah for 20 years. Growing up in an inner-city, I did not have much access to the outdoors, wildlife, nature and ancient life sciences. However, I always knew deep down, that I wanted to explore and discover the things that came before me. I eagerly thumbed through books on dinosaurs, fossils and similar sciences. At the age of 8 or so, I can remember digging a small square in my backyard and setting up a grid to log what I found. A school field trip to a State Park in Southern Indiana fueled my passion to find more when I saw large areas of limestone and was allowed to take a piece home with me. I had never seen anything like it.

Today, I am just as excited to find those pieces of our ancient history as I was as a child.

Hope to get some fossil identifications as well as possibly provide some insight as well.

Hello, welcome from SC. With your stated interests I believe you will find the Forum a great (and fun) resource.  

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See
