DeeMoji Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 So to be honest, my untrained eyes wouldn’t have known these were fossils had I not dug them up myself. They look just like regulars shells. Do y’all have any tips that’ll educate me a bit? I have more if you need better pictures I just grabbed a handful. Look at the ultra mini, isn’t he cute?!

They are some nice little shells, but not really "micro" pieces. Usually a micro fossil needs some type of magnification to see them (microscope). 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
