		<description><![CDATA[My plan was to allow the limestone to dissolve in the vinegar solution for a couple of days in order to create the buffer solution.  Well other things came up (i.e. work) and I didn't look at the solution for a couple of weeks!   :o <br /><br />When I tested the solution, the pH and density indicated that it wasn't diluted to 7%.  Something...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone can remember finding their first fossils, whether they be insignifigant teeth to dinosaur finds. While I found nothing dramatic or spectacular, I did find my first fossils in the form of Oligocene shells.<br /><br />Thanks to hours research and MapQuest, I found a small and relatively unknown site called Natural Bridge near Gaskin, Florida....]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Before dissolving the limestone slab, a buffer solution needs to be made.  The buffer solution moderates the dissolution and keeps the solution pH from starting too low which can damage the microfossils from the slab.<br /><br />After mixing a 7% solution, I added a spare piece of limestone start making the buffer solution.  The pH started at 2.5 and had...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I just got a blog and need to put "Second Chance" in better description, why not blog it? Well, we left Taylor at about 11:30, and headed to the used to be hated South San Gabriel site. Now that we know how to get down there easily, it was a great trip. My first cool find was a candosa texana. Then we found some oysters and some...]]></description>
