I used to go collecting fossils down our local quarry when i was a kid. There were loads and loads of Trilobite and bullet shaped one (forgot their name). I left them at home when i joined the RAF and they've all been chucked out now. No chance of getting them anymore as the local council turned the quarry into a landfill site.
Imagine all that lost opportunity under a landfill. Here is a link to the site I obtained this from years ago: https://www.fossilera.com/
WELL Steven you hav'nt got a dinosaur in your back garden then lol
chris
It was an amazing site. People used to come from all over to find things. But the local council cannot see past their noses and back pockets. As you say. A lost opportunity and possible income.
Yes i see your point Steven but you can collect small stuff cant you ? but what is that thing you have there a bettle of some sort ?
A Trilobite and yes small collections are no issues. I was looking at a full size T-Rex replica.
YEA Al that typical of these councils at my big boating lakes they have put double yellow lines around so we cant park up to sail our ships
chris
Youre got to be jokein full size eh T -Rex
what have you been up all night Steven ? as you said its nr 3am where you are as here it nr 10 past 12 pm
If you're patient, you can obtain one for under $6000. I woke up at about 12:30 AM, plugged the coffee pot in and I'm on my fourth cup of the black gold.
SO Steven you running on caffine now are you lol an 6 grand for a dino wow
I'm not serious about the replica, just whimsical. I really don't want something like this cluttering up things.
The bullet-shaped fossils are Belemnites Alan
As to the dinosaur in the back yard. This shot was taken a couple of years ago from the shoulder of Northbound Highway 280 in the SF Bay area in the town of Hillsboro, Calif. We called it the "Flintstone" house when I was living in Burlingame just on the other side of the hill this house is on. If you look closely you will see Dino in the back yard.......by the way, This house is worth Millions. Best get started on that backyard project if you want to improve your property value.
