Summer 2018 Delaware Paleozoic finds

Recommended Posts

My family decided to take a few day trips to Delaware’s beaches this summer. We went to a few, and heeding some posts by @I_gotta_rock, I kept an eye out for fossils. I found a few, but three were good enough to show. No one knows which formation exactly they come from, only that they are Paleozoic. Sounds like a good Thesis to me.

 

Anyway here we are, first a worn coral bit, kinda like a petosky stone. .7 inches

Ooh! Tiny!  I have a hard time with my aging eyes trying to spot the little ones.  Good job!

I refuse to give up my childish wonder at the world.
