Those were bad guys! Great find!

That was a family outing that turned into a fascinating discovery, one the boys won’t forget and will remember with great pleasure.

So different than the two week old story of the single Mom who took her five kids to the beach, where they found and collected over 50 ‘Sea Shells’.

Turns out some of those ‘Sea Shells’ were still occupied with oysters. There is a law against collecting that kind of shell. The Mom got fined big time for their error.

When I was that age, EVERY fossil was a T-Rex fossil.

And all I ever found in upstate NY were trilobite fossils. But those were pretty cool, nevertheless.

The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago) and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic before slipping into a long decline, when, during the Devonian, all trilobite orders except the Proetida died out. The last trilobites disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 252 million years ago.

You could hardly avoid finding those little buggers! I never saw another one after moving away from the Finger Lakes.

Imagine a 250 million year run! Sure beats us puny humans.
