That's something I haven't done for years. I used to go fossil hunting as a youngster at the bottom of the white chalk cliffs near my home. I might just have a go this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteVisit Keith's Ramblings!
We spent a day there. Hope you have a go this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible! I haven't done something like that before.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome way to spend the day. What an exciting thing to do.
ReplyDeleteIt was great fun!
DeleteWow! This is incredible indeed!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take my whole school here!
DeleteFascinating way to spend the afternoon, and the fish fossils you found are so clear, looks like they were embedded just a few weeks ago not centuries. Great WW!
ReplyDeleteIt was like finding treasure.
DeleteHow fascinating. How hot was it? It looks scorching.
ReplyDeleteWe wore coats when we first arrived as the temps were in the 50's. By noon, the temperature was in the 70's and it was very pleasant.
Deletewow! when I saw the title 'fossil hunt' I thought you were playing with words. I have never seen or heard anything like it. But it looks like a great fun both for finding 'treasures' and for taking photos.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is beautiful. I've never seen something like this :)
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult getting the fragile fossil fish home from Wyoming.
ReplyDeletethis is how to find the needle in the haystack :)
ReplyDeleteYes. Exactly!
DeleteI would love to do this!
ReplyDeleteIt was an adventure.
DeleteHow fantastic is that? It must be amazing to find fossils like that- I bet your husband was thrilled.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was something he has always wanted to do.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Looks really interesting.
Have a great day!
Cool and amazing! We have a place called Drumheller here in Alberta where I was told you can dig your own dino fossils. I've only been to the Dinosaur Museum but never actually go dig fossils. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful shots! Thanks for sharing...I have never been fossil hunting. Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
ReplyDeleteThat does look hard work, but great fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an interesting activity. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, so cool!! What kind of rocks are those? I've never seen anything like them. I grew up in western NY state, and we went fossil-hunting in the shale formations - not fish but ancient things like trilobites. This looks like fun!

My husband says this rock is shale, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to spend a day. The only fossil hunting I've ever done was around the Lyme Regis area in England. Seeing the 'ammonite graveyard' from millions of years ago, along Monmouth Beach, was a definite highlight of that holiday. Trying to get my head around such an enormous expanse of time helps put my little day to day concerns into perspective!
ReplyDeleteI love fossils and fossil hunting! The year I graduated from college, my parents gave me a trip to work on a dinosaur dig in Montana. It was the neatest experience of my life. Would love to go do it again sometime.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! The fossils are fascinating. I don't think we have anything like that here in Finland.
