------ Dinosaur Tracks ------
We participate annually in the Marty Zinn Springfield show in Massachusetts. While there,we visit a local quarry
location and collect dinosaur tracks. They are quite abundant with a little work. After collecting several, you get a feel for the size and activity of the dinosaurs by the placements of the tracks. Such as if they were walking, running, standing or moving in groups. There is a lot of information to be learned from these tracks even though they are only "trace" fossils......Year 2010

------ Coal Mine Fossils ------
Upon being informed of a significant find of Carboniferous fossils I visited a coal mine in Eastern Kentucky to see for myself. Going into and working inside a coal mine is not for the faint of heart. I have great respect for the hard workers in these mines and assure you they deserve every penny they make.
The payoff for my going in and collecting the specimens from inside the mine is that the details are so clean and sharp. Notice the working height of the tunnel that I am in. Year 2009
------ Digging Dinosaurs ------
Each Summer we spend several weeks in Wibaux County, Montana, walking the Badlands enjoying the beautiful scenery and looking for dinosaur bones. We have been fortunate enough to make many nice finds through the years. This is wide open country with breathtaking landscapes that invite you to relax and appreciate life without all the constant everyday distractions you normally have. In this series is a photo of Janice and I on her first dig working on her first dinosaur bone.

------ The Grand Canyon ------
We have made many trips to the Grand Canyon through the years. Not as a collecting venture of course, but as a rejuvenation of the soul. The feeling of awe and wonder at this amazing formation is almost overwhelming.
I have yet to tire of visiting this place and would strongly encourage everyone to do so at least once in their life. It is an experience and feeling that you will always remember. These photos are from a 2008 trip.
------ The Petrified Forest ------
We have made many trips to the Petrified Forest and the Holbrook Arizona area. The park is a fun and interesting area to visit. An astonding number of petrified logs of all sizes and stages of preservation.
