Nimravis 6,743 Posted September 4, 2019 I always have fossils on my mind and today is no exception. I am currently at a conference in the former McDonald’s University in Oak Brook, Illinois and they have tons of limestone slabs are one of there lakes, but I did not see any fossils. Now on the inside they still have many display cases that contain various McDonald’s memorabilia (I.e. old uniforms, happy meal toys, etc.) and I happened to see the below items, I never had seen them in past years. It is nothing special, but it still is fossil related. I came back again today for the conference and I found this Orthoconic nautiloid.

DevilDog 12 Posted September 4, 2019 Guilty of that as well. I can't walk past a pile of sand or dirt without looking at it in hopes of finding a fossil. Some years ago I chaperoned a school field trip to the state house in Vermont and by chance our small group of kids got to meet the governor. I was so distracted by a large ammonite fossil in a marble floor tile that I missed out on the opportunity to meet him as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randyw 1,125 Posted September 4, 2019 Personally I’d rather see the ammonite rather then any governor ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
