TyrannosaurusRex Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Found ALL of these today. Honestly I felt like Gollum from Lord of the Rings when I was scrambling all over the hill. Thankfully I didn't break anything(including bones). So here are some of the best things from today. Enjoy! P.S. I used an American penny for pictures Chunk of Ammonite Another chunk of Ammonite A whole Ammonite Edited January 12, 2014 by TyrannosaurusRex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleoworld-101 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Great finds Tyrannosaurus That last Ammo is a biggie "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xonenine Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 terrific TRex, glad you found such a diverse haul of handsome fossils. And I know what you mean, I used to feel like a troll scrabbling around under the bridge for fossils in winter when everything else was snow covered "Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your mud by the operation of your sun; so is your crocodile."
