The Jacks Fork River ROCKS - Macro Shots of Fossils

in #rockhound7 years ago

I collect rocks and stones and bring them home to either polish in my rock tumbler and make into pendants or just keep them for my own personal collection. I'm pretty good at finding fossils on my rock hunts. I typically see one every time we go out to the river. Here are some macro shots of some of the fossils I have found. Some are all on the same small rock!

I'm sure I have more somewhere so I'll find those and get some macro shots done. Thanks for stopping by!

Nice, I love discovering fossils on rocks!

I like sharing them with the kids and talking about what they used to be.

Wonderful shots! I love finding fossils when I go rockhounding and have even found a fossilized fish tooth! Looks like it's crystalized! Great find and thanks for using the rockhound tag! @bitfiend

Oh that's so cool! Thanks so much, @rockhounds!

You need to take a vacation in Monroe County, Utah. Trilobites!!! I mean, what is better than an awesome rock? A rock that used to be an animal!

Sweeeeet! I'll put that on my list of cool places to visit! Thanks, @fishyculture!

Those are some really good pictures! You can really see the details of some of the fossils.

Thanks! I used my tiny macro lens that attaches to my phone.

Beautiful fossils. You have a good eye for finding them. 🐓🐓

Thanks! I like sharing them with the kids. I don't know if they actually think they're cool or if they're just amusing me. Haha!

I most likely just amusing you! But yeah, I thought they were pretty cool. Lol. 🐓🐓

Haha! They also like to bring me rocks they find. They seem to see a beauty that sometimes I miss.
