Little intro into why this find was important,
when young we played and hunted in the old coal mine pits, I would shift through the slate and find fossils and throw them aside as then I didn’t care.
Today I met a man who’s company owns mineral rights to all those places I used to go to. After he does his work he walks around the slate and picks up fossils.
I bought a couple from him but then he started giving me a lot of them. I have this nice collection in hand now of ferns and different types of them. All this I remember from those days.
i will have to post better pics of them later.
he has two Huge plates I really wanted but he wouldn’t part with them. They actually had little footprints going across them. I been drooling over them ever since.
