This roughly parallels in a larger scale an experience I had a few months ago when I did a ground survey for historical artifacts at a creek bank site I was investigating. I found nothing that I considered of historical era interest there, but I happened to spot what appeared to be a cattle bone in the middle of the creek. When I pulled it out and washed the mud off it, I found out that it was fossilized. I took it to an expert who determined it to be an extinct camel scapula. In other words, I was looking for something old, but what I actually "stumbled over" was about two orders of magnitude older.

It is always fun to find old stuff.

We never found a collection like this yet.
