The very first fossil I ever collected was given to me by my late husband, Joseph. It turned out to be a Calymene, celebra trilobite shown below. The next thing I knew, his friend donated an entire collection for me to share with my classroom. I was enchanted by the fossils and wanted to learn as much about them as I could. I even created posters and drawings of what they may have looked like as living creatures, which are included in my blog. My students were super intrigued when I presented them and I’ve been hooked ever since.

“Category of Fossil Facts” menu on side bar, (if using a smartphone, menu on bottom of every post) includes rock identifications.
