I wish it was my work... I stay locked like a prisoner in a corporate penitentary. Monday through Friday I am a Large Systems IT Consultant. On the weekends I do the fossil thing. 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!!!

Naw...its people like you who do it for no other than pure enjoyment that set a great example for others to follow. Thanks to your contributions, others have seen parts of history that they otherwise would have missed out on. Thanks.... |

Re: Photos from a recent trip to Western KS
Thanks for the great pictures!
Have you found any Trilobites out there?
They may be too old (Cambrian) to be found in KS

There are some trilobites from the Witchita area. They are from the Pennsylvannian period (320 million years ago).
The stuff in W. KS is late creataceous around 70 MYA.
