Mil133 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hello everyone, and thanks for making this forum happen! I am from the Houston area. My kids and I got into fossil hunting when we randomly stepped into petrified oysters and bivalves in the TX hill country. Since then, we've been fossil hunting, mainly in the Dallas area. Usually it's just an excuse to get out, but finding old, strange looking, beautiful things does not get old. Happy to join for trips here and there. All the best!

Fin Lover Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Welcome to the forum! Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimikuj Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 That is AWESOME and something I think all children would enjoy if given the opportunity! Such a great way for you to connect with them and them with Nature. Unfortunately though, in our "modern" world, this connection is undervalued in childhood development. However, I believe this is crucial and an essential component of humanity. My heart breaks for my kids and all future generations of disconnect, so it is always both inspiring and uplifting to hear about awesome parents like you who still provide opportunities and encourage their children to forge this bond with the Natural World. Kudos to you! Welcome to the Forum from one newcomer to another♡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
