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!

Some very neat fossils at this spot for sure as the pics already show on page 1. Recently I got to visit this spot with Swizz and I actually found a few neat samples myself. We'll definitely have to visit there again.
Here are a few pics of some I brought home, many different types of plant leaf and stem material. I have no idea on the id's of each plant other than what looks to be a large maple leaf. Each picture hopefully shows the texture each fossil has of the original stem/veining for each plant type too. Thanks for the fossil stop off Swizz, fun stuff! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
