These rocks are laying all over out here. A person could fill a pickup with them in a couple of days. I thought some of you might find them interesting.

Those are wild looking. Both my daughters would go nuts if they found those. They are still intrigued with all the fossil jibber.
Neat fossils and (thanks to the last picture) can understand why they are gone. Keep that white stuff away from here.

I see them almost everyday so I don't pay a lot of attention to them, but I have noticed at least 4 different types of shells. The clam shell looking things are common, from little ones just a little bigger than sand to some bigger than the ones in the pix. There are 2 kinds that look like snails, both the short, narrow ones and the long pointed kind, and a thing that looks like a long tapered tube. The clam shells are usually all about the same size each rock.
Bill or Barry should be able to identify some of those shapes. :alscalls:
You are now living in what once was a sea floor. Maybe one day it will be again. :shrug:
Thems cool pics. That last one is a warning for things to come I think.
cool fossils !! My daughter would love those.
Wow those are really neat !! Better than the ones we find around here.
Jim -1, Bill and Barry - still to come :wink:.
Art is right about the truckload as I think that's how many Donny brought home from there. :pout: I've never saw anything like it in my life and we got badlands just South of me a way's with all kinds of dinosaur fossils.

I think I remember when those dinosaurs died there :laf: :laf:
they are a type of brachiapod it looks like and those are huge , I would pick em all up and see what they are worth on ebay to fossil collectors. my grandad found a rock on our mtn and my teacher in kindegarten husband was a paleantologist and kep about 60 % of that rock . obviousy some new species never seen before. those are huge never seen em that big before, brachipods are prehistoric clams , guess most already knew that around here bout the sice of nickel or quarter
Those in the pix are about the size of your palm but I have seen some almost twice that size. I found a fossill that looked like a large lobster tail as I walked up, but turned out to be a snail like shell.
they are really awesome . I would keep em when i found em . they are reallty cool, found a rock athe creek that had em when was akid and about as big as my thumbnail
