Fossiling Firsts!


FossilForKids

Recommended Posts

The following "first time events" happened to me over the past week or so:

* I went fossiling for the first time since my illness.

* I took my new girlfriend, Lisa, on her first fossil hunt.

* The picture of the Sand Dollars and Clam shells are Lisa's first ever fossils!

After the loss of my best friend and fossil partner, Lisa and I decided that I needed a break from reality. So we went for a long drive down the extremely scenic Hwy Coastal road. We then collected at the Scotts Valley sand dollar locality and a shell exposure near the small town of Sunol. Enjoy the pictures and please welcome Lisa to our crazy yet wonderful world of fossil collecting.

awwww, how sweet! ok, but look, um either the date's wrong on your camera, or you're blowin' some major smoke here. but anyway, hey, um, i zoomed in on that picture of ya'll and had your big ole eyes, nose and mouth full-screen on my monitor, and dude, you're gorgeous! (just said that to make her jealous man - next time upload a smaller photo - tmi).

but those locations are freaking unbelievably gorgeous! it ticks me so off when i see places like that and can't be there. wow.

glad you're doing better!

The date is way wrong. These pictures are from about 10 days ago.

i knew that. but you oughta reset it because the exif info on your picture files will be wrong, unless you're like me and want the exif info all wrong so that you can throw off the people who always follow you.

hey, just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean nobody's out to get me.

heh. cool people, places, and fossils. go you.

Ditto! Nothing like seeing the glint in an eye when it is their first discovery. Especially, if it is someone that you(really) care about.

Ahh, the joys of discovery... physical, and metaphorical. ;)

It looks like she had an excellent first day collecting. Those are very nice sand dollars. Are they Miocene? Glad to see you are back at it again.
