New Members klitz2011 Posted October 14 New Members Share Posted October 14 Hi everyone, My six-year-old and I were out hunting for rocks along the shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County yesterday, October 13, 2024. We found a lot of Petoskey and Charlevoix stones, but also these two suspected fossils. He's incredibly excited with my vague guesses already ("could be an ammonite, who knows!" ) But we'd love any input from folks who are more experienced at hunting and IDing these things. Thanks in advance, Two kindergarten naturalists (one current, one emeritus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
