Hey guys!

I spent the last few days collecting in the Bangor Limestone, and I brought home A LOT of rock. (probably WAY too much...) Here are some of my finds. Hope you enjoy!

Gabe,

Thanks for posting these awesome fossils! :wub:

These are things that I haven't seen before, and therefore very interesting.

Wonderful finds and pics.

How do you cut the slabs out? Do you have a saw or angle grinder?

Looks like hauling all that rock really paid off. Very interesting specimens.

Thanks for the compliments!

Fossildude19: I cut the fossils using a regular circular saw with a diamond grinding blade. The rock cuts like butter and the saw doesn't struggle!
