If It Is Old, And It Is Out There, We Will Find It
continued from main page

Everyone was busy collecting fossils and no one noticed the sky darkening until it started to rain, before we knew what had happened, it actually sleeted and snowed!!! The rain came in so fast and the river rose so quickly that it covered the rock bridge we had built just an hour before.

The group was wet and cold but all insisted on hunting for fossils. It turned out to be one of my best fossils hunts ever! One of the students even said that it was the best trip they had ever gone on. It was because of the ice, snow and rain that made it special for them! Most of the students were not from Texas. They didn’t know that, if you don’t like the weather in Texas, just wait awhile, it will change! I even found a lot of good fossils for my private collection that day!

The very next day I took a different group out in the same section of the river, and they wore swimsuits and swam most of the day. They also found petrified wood the last group missed! It does not matter how many times you go over the same area, you always can find something new!
