We found a variety of nice fossils on a recent visit to the cliffs on the St Mary River in Southern Alberta. For early January in Canada, it was like a summer day. It took me about 15 minutes to find a 100 pound concretion and another 20 to dig it out. Then a great deal of grunting and groaning to get it up the cliff on my back. It turned out to be a gem ball. More pixs of the gem when I clean it. We also found a nice placenteris meeki suture fossil, lots of gem, and one interclare. The pictures show the cliff, uncovering the fossil and a few other shots of finds. other pixs follow

Hello fellow rock hounds and fossil hunters. I am a retired army veteran that has been chasing old rocks and bones for 50 + years. I am currently involved with fossils found in Southern Alberta and research research. This site has been very helpful so I decided to join. I will have recent finds to show soon. Busy cleaning them. Happy New Year. Cowtown is slang for Calgary Alberta, home of the Stampede and thus year, a good hockey and football team.
