The coloration - mostly black, sometimes brown - comes from an influx of minerals after being buried under tons of debris for millions of yearsWolfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144231875392437832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852601157280422277.post-77988008962779142112012-05-26T17:04:14.669-05:002012-05-26T17:04:14.669-05:00Holy moley!

Didn't kno...I should have stopped in long ago. Didn't know you were getting into fossil hunting. Illinois got me started on fossils with the Paleozoic invertebrates in the coal formations there. About a month ago I found a fossilized horse tooth. When my son was small we found an Iguanadon fibia and shoulder blade that's at the Vernal Field Museum (not sure of the name, but it's the only museum in Vernal, Utah). I can't stop myself from looking now.T.
