Had to clean yesterday's Flexy. Came out really nice.

I rarely pick up rocks that have just parts of the trilobite but this one was an uncommon one. This face is nearly twice the size of that of the Flexy pictured above.

Very cool! I like the face too.

Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside!

Now that you say it; it looks like a face from a Mayan temple!

There's a photo of the "original" condition in From an Ohio Roadcut thread. It was ridiculously clean when I found it. It was laying speciman up when I found it on a ledge about 20 ft up the slope. A lot of people who search at roadcuts don't/can't/won't climb. I do/can/will/did.

I've wonder if it laid there so long the weathering helped clean it (?).

very cool

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
