Auspex Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Are you kidding me?! That's pretty much fantabulous! Any idea as to their age?

Rsmull Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 I haven't quite figured out how to post my photos directly to the topic so that you can see them without having to click on the photo and also still not able to upload too many pics because my files are too large so I have posted the pics in my gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Very nice specimen, something that would be considered a show piece even by museum standards. Definitely Grade A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Wow! Very nice piece. I've seen something similar at old timer rock shops but never thought they could still be found. How hard was it to get home? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsmull Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Wow! Very nice piece. I've seen something similar at old timer rock shops but never thought they could still be found. How hard was it to get home? Hey Shamalama, I actually tripped over the 53" long peice, thought it was a log. Almost left it until I poke it with my shovel and realized what it was. It was in about 3 feet of water and covered with algae. I was able to drag it up stream about 400m with a strap then I had to carry it up a 40ft path to my car. It was tough and back breaking.
