Years ago probably sometime in the 1970's we occasionally would stop at a area that had fossil fish if we happened to be in that area looking for NA campsites. This is a place that didn't have the notoriety of the fossil beds in the Kemmerer, Wy area. Back then people would take backhoes out there and dig up big areas looking for fossils. Now it is a definite no no but at that time people pretty much did anything they wanted and we wonder why everything is prohibited. Anyway we could just paw through somebody else's diggings and find good fossils. 4 or 5 years ago I gathered up these and packed them in a tub to protect them. I don't remember how many good ones we had but I'm sure a few got broken over the years. We still have a few scattered around the yard that have just portions showing . These are the complete ones I saved.

Kemmerer WYO. I tried that put a wedge in a clay slab in the novice area about 2 hours one time.
All the others times I go watch the experienced peoples working in the areas were the “Bling” bigger like yours are found.N.E Colorado, Nebraska panhandleComment

O, Wow and Wow...! I’d think I’d died and gone to fossil heaven! (I’m tickled over tiny piece coral!)Last edited by Cecilia; 09-24-2020, 09:04 PM.Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah RiverComment
