Dereynes Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 My son and I went fossil hunting last weekend and here are our findings. The most recognizable is the mammoth tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. Congrats on a great find. Can I go fossil hunting with you and your son too? Seriously, great find. How old is your son? Finding something like that and sharing the experience with your son is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dereynes Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) My son is autistic, he is 11. The most impressive part of the day was he climbed down a 18’ embankment to get started. It was certainly one of the most memorable moments! We have a great time looking! We found a number of fossils.

grandpa Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 My 14 year old grandson is also autistic. He is currently not interested in fossils, but perhaps once he gets beyond video games, I'll be able to corrupt him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 That is a very nice find! Hopefully your son enjoys the experience and it’s something you two can do together for many years to come!
