The past couple of weeks Tyler and I have gone fossil hunting with his parent. I even found my I even found a cephalopod like the one above, Tyler was using his rock hammer to chip out some other fossibles and I saw something in the rock that looked like a cephalopod. Tyler didnt think it was anything at first...but I was able to pull it out and it looks alot like the picture above.
The next weekend we went to another "secret" place where we found horn coral. There was tons of them in the rocks. It was alot harder to break the rock around these rocks....because the type of rock they are in is a lot harder.... We hiked up a hill and then on the side of the trail there was a huge wall of rock that had tons of horn coral in them. It was really cool. I was really surprised that I was able to hike at all since my leg has been hurting lately. I hurt it when i slipped on the ice when I was younger and has gotten worse ever since. There were even times when I couldn't walk on it at all. But thanks to the chiropractor I am hiking, running and even water skiing again. After looking for fossils that day my legs were so tired. I got sun burnt really bad on my neck and arms. Which is weird because we all put sun screen on and I was the only one that got burnt. I had to put lotion all over and that helped a lot. Karole ( my mother in law) said she found a tick. Luckily we didn't find anymore... when we got home we double checked for ticks. Tyler has become a professional fossil hunter. When we came home we labeled them and put them in boxes . Separating them from the different places that we found the fossils.
