I am rained out from work and heading out to look for some more Flora fossils. I've had VERY few days at all to prospect, mine, or do anything this season due to my biz and family events. I have to take advantage of any day I can (really looking forward to the labor day club outing). Will add pics if I find any keepers today.

Here are some pics from that little excursion.

This one took about 1.5 hrs of careful extraction.

Here's the final extraction. Crusty is now the owner of this one. happy088.gif

Not quite as good as the other (missing partial upper left) but a keeper. Rare to find a complete leaf.

Thanks Denise! I took home some rough that I can pick layers apart from this winter. I had a ton of fun that day and am planning to get back there at least one more time before ol man winter returns. Into a good layer there now.

Maybe we could meet there on one of the next times we go to the claims. It's only about 30-40 minutes from where I live but you generally travel to the mine from the WY side. I think you would like it.... even for just an hour or so. I spent about 4 hours there today.

My neighbor Steve came along this time. We prospected new areas without too much luck and then spent a few hours at my old leaf dig which is never disappointing. Here are some pics from today. Really fun!

This is Steve working one of the layers.

After next week, I've got nothing but time, so I could just ride up there on my bike and meet you!
