Anyone like Fossils?

[Karen]

Massachusetts and Connecticut have a lot of neat fossil beds! Connecticut, unlike NJ, preserved all their footprints really well! That is really cool Karen, have you seen it?

We have - we took a road trip just to see it!

I had to update to say my Spino tooth came! I am so excited I mean, it's rather useless to own but I want to start a little collection and what other way to start off with a collection than a reasonably priced tooth from your favorite Dinosaur? Don't judge me.

It's a two inch tooth, in decent shape, and for $15 that wasn't bad.

Sandie, the fossil beds gets a continuous supply from both the Ocean and the huge banks of the river that are constantly eroding!

Cool, thanks for sharing it with us!

Where I come from there used to be coal mining and coal developped under pressure from prehistoric forests. So there were plenty of slag hills and there you could find wonderful fossils. I still have a big petrified mushroom ( the type that grows on the side of a tree) and some horsetails on my balcony. I think it is very exciting to find things like that
Unfortunately in our slag hills animals would be extremely rare and there were no dinosaurs at all

I agree, it is so exciting to a find a few little things! A petrified mushroom sounds really cool actually. If there aren't dinosaurs, what kind of fossils are found there? Are there plant fossils? Those are really neat to!
