I am a little more rabid than the average hobbiest, and hunt about 40 days a year, luckily I live in Dallas which is virtually covered in fossils.
I have donated specimens to the Sternberg Museum in Hays, KS; the Sam Noble museum at OU, and SMU here in Dallas. So far I have 3 new species named after me, which are part of a collection of material I donated to the Sam Noble museum. I will soon have a wierd fish skull on display at the Sternberg museum. It's a swordfish, but the bill protrudes from the LOWER jaw. Very rare and very strange.
I don't try to make money off the fossils. I would hate for it to become work, although I do take a pretty hefty tax deduction off the stuff I donate to museums and to the kids programs at the museums.
Who knows, maybe it makes up for being a Worthless Piece of Crap Hummer Driver!!!
