zoup Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi All. I found My first fossil in 1967. I was 13 years old. We had alot of fields, woods and hollows behind our house that went for miles with alot of exposed rock. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 wow. that's some pretty cool stuff that doesn't exist just everywhere. at the risk of sounding ignernt (again), is the brach plate shiny due to being wet or being made of shiniferous material or what?

Shamalama Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Very cool first finds and I can see why they sparked an interest in fossils for you! Thanks for sharing! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah, those would do it!

zoup Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Youngstown? My old stomping grounds!I never saw anything like those though. Hi Sparkchaser I lived in brownlewoods Most of the fossils here were found in pinehollow park before they put the 680 freeway in. The park had a lot of glacier formations and every summer I would walk the creek from midlothian all the way to poland ave. thanks for looking Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
