Old Times

When I lived in England, I used to go fossil hunting near the River Severn. My Dad had the habit of finding really cool fossils, like a Wooly Rhinoceros Tooth (!!) and huge ammonites. I usually only found little ammonites, including this one. Often when I hunted with a couple of artist friends, I would find tiny, shiny black ones, which I would make jewellery from. One of my friends found an Ichthyosaur, so I am always hoping that my big discovery is around the corner somewhere!
