Fossil Hunting Fun

My oldest daughter is doing a science fair exhibit on Fossils and she had to go and find fossils for the exhibit. The little guy in this photo is a Trilobite, don't ask me what that is but it is very cool looking. She needed photos of the fossils for her display so we went fossil hunting. It was really quite fun and quite easy. The hardest part was climbing up the hillside which was pretty steep and covered with loose rock. Going up the hill was actually easier than coming down but we made it and had a lot of fun doing it. We hunted for about an hour at most and came home with 3 buckets of fossils. This was the only Trilobite we found but we probably would have found more if we had stayed longer. This particular Trilobite is only about 1/2" long but I shot it with a Macro Lens and it is much larger in the image than it truly is. I have not done any clean up to the image so you can see all the dirt on the glass table top, I hope you enjoy it anyway.
