Maybe your Indiana neighbors are wiser than they get credit for...at least the kid knew his great discovery was animal and not vegetable ("Sea Lilies")... And I'd love to trade you my field guide for one of the interesting pages (or should I say steps) from your kiddie fossil book anytime! Thanks for the link, but with my slow connection It'll be a while before I dig into the answers in the pdf's on the site. Assuming the impact is 300 million years old -give or take- Mississipian or Pennsylvanian, it could have been timed during the lifetimes of the beautiful crinoids in the western part of Missouri. I am still really curious to know if their were fossilized remains found which appear to have errr.. let's call it "meteorite" damage, even if from a petit tsunami. Now that would be really cool, wouldn't it... Saludos, Doug Received on Mon 23 May 2005 02:12:13 PM PDT |
