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!

Here are some pics from that little excursion.
This one took about 1.5 hrs of careful extraction. 2015-09-14_06-13-31 by GhostCreekMine, on Flickr 2015-09-14_06-15-36 by GhostCreekMine, on Flickr Here's the final extraction. Crusty is now the owner of this one. 2015-09-14_06-15-11 by GhostCreekMine, on Flickr Not quite as good as the other (missing partial upper left) but a keeper. Rare to find a complete leaf. 2015-09-14_06-51-38 by GhostCreekMine, on Flickr -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Thanks for the treasure! Would love to check that spot out sometime! 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. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

After next week, I've got nothing but time, so I could just ride up there on my bike and meet you! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
