Hi all,
I went fishing today and worked one of my fossil layers in the canyon on the way home (NF) to complete my day. Most of the fauna fossils I find from this location are severely fragmented (not specimen grade) and the matrix is fairly brittle. This one is nearly a complete leaf (unknown species) in a decent matrix... so I made a keeper out of it. Fun! -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Hello all.
Just wanted to show a few pics of the fossils found with Swizz. And one I found previous. A leaf fossil A fossil specimen of ancient Horsetail plant ( reed like plant that still grows there today) the two brown splotches above the plant, are cross sections(slices) of the same plant. A pine cone bud? or a mammal turd? A piece of wood? Seed pod? or a insect cocoon(butterfly)? And an almost complete spiral/cone shell fossil from near Green Mtn.
