Collecting the 2018 MAPS show

I got back from the MAPS fossil show and here's what I found. The Pleistocene gopher skull was my big find and I was able to add a lot to my Florida fossil seashell collection. The fossil hunters I got the gopher skull from also had a complete Dire Wolf skull (no I didn't take pics) as well as other Ice Age fossils they found in Iowa and Nebraska. I also found a fossil deer antler covered in rodent gnaw marks made over 10,000 years ago (goes with my Ice Age gopher skull). Attending fossil shows like MAPS gives the collector the opportunity to add something to their collection that they cant field collect themselves.    

Thanks,

Mikeymig

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Some lovely stuff you picked up there. 

I love the brachiopods in particular. :wub:

I love the Mediospirifer (or Orthospirifer) on the Paraspirifer comobo. :wub:
