Beautiful specimens...I have a great fascination with fossilized plants and trilobites...

[@rockcrazygal5166]

Very informative. Thank you. I fossil hound Lake Ontario and find all the same fossils as the ones you have.😊

[@TheBlueMountainsPublicLibrary]

The base structure for our region runs across Ontario. It just so happens that our shoreline reveals wonderful trilobites easily seen.

Glad you enjoyed it! We have a fossil event planned for Aug. 27 at the museum if you are interested in meeting two of the people in the film.

how do fossils geodize

[@TheBlueMountainsPublicLibrary]

Geodes form when groundwater filled with minerals seep into pockets in rock. The crystals form using the minerals and the water evaporates. These crystals can form around anything in the rock.

I haven't bought Craigleith fossils but I have bought Craigslist fossils. 😆

Plankton needs to get some goals.
