First Thing This Morning I headed to Pick Up My Fossil Hunting Buddy.
A Friends 13 year old Son)
3 Years ago He Became intrested & had Nobody to Take Him, So I'v Been Doing it With Him.
We Both Found Some Intresting Fossils.
He More Then Me As I'm TOO PICKEY.?
About an Hour After we Got There We See 3 Large White Vans Pull in.
All 3 say SWATHMORE UNIVERSITY BIOLOGY CLASS.
Next Thing We Know We Have about a Dozen or More College Students Looking Also.
We Took The time To Show them our Finds Which they were Very supprised at The Things we were finding.
It was Obvious the Ones I talked to Had No Idea where to start. They Had NO Tools & were Just Picking up Rocks & looking at Them.
So I described To them How to Look & pretty much had a Great time Finding & Sharing.
I also Got to Explain Metal Detecting to Them & talked about The Intresting Things They Could
Find with one.
Here are A couple of My Finds.
Any Word on What They Are & Age Is Appreciated.
The TRILOBITE? (LAST PICTURE) is the Only One I Know, & ufortunately, The Body is Still Imbedded in The rock & I'm afraid to try & Unearth it from the Rock.
First 3 Same Fossil Both Sides What is IT ?
It's Just over 1 Inch Long.
ALSO SEE SPINE TYPE FOSSIL on same Rock

Thanks For Looking,
I will Move it To The Fossil Page Tomorrow.
