Hello from Utah

Hello all, 

 

I was raised in Vernal Utah (dinasaur land) and have been collecting fossils my entire life. My siblings and I would find dinosaur bones across the street from our house and thought everyone had dinosaurs in their yard. Lol. 

I went to BYU Idaho and majored in Geology.  I transferred to Casper College and was studying extractive resource technology and mud logging, but didn't finish due to a realization that fossils are my hobby, not a career choice....and I'm terrible at mathematics. Hahaha 

 

I love fossils, gems and minerals and am excited to learn from this group and see some neat finds.

Hi, my name is Deborah and Fossil items are amazing.  I have what looks like an egg, but I have no idea.  That is the only fossil I might have.  I would like to collect some items but I am always afraid I might buy a fake.  Nice to be here Deborah

What... you mean other places don't have wind??  I need to get out more.  When were you here?  Did you take any geology classes?  Have we met?

I transferred there in 2014 from BYU Idaho. We may have met, I was two weeks into the semester when I had to move due to family issues.
