snakebite6769 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Ok so I took advantage of the day yesterday and went to Deer Park. I drove up to what used to be Michael's, and walked inside, asked for permission to hunt behind the building and they had no issue with it. So I walked out behind and to the left of the lot. looked down and instantly started finding fossils. I collected about 10 lbs. before my bag started getting heavy on my stitched up finger. at this point I started gathering smaller ones in my pockets. in about 2 hours I had quite a large collection going. stay tuned for pics.

snakebite6769 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Thought this was pretty interesting, It appears to be an open "clamshell" If anyone can identify a particular fossil, its greatly appreciated as I dont have my normal reference material at my disposal.
