Fossils can be found in nearly any
outcropping of ancient sedimentary rock all over the West. One of the premier
sites is in Nebraska.
The limitations of the photographer, not

collection of Lakota artifacts in a separate wing.

We have the John Day Fossil Beds here in Oregon. I am old enough to remember when it wasn't a national monument and one could go in, dig out whatever they wanted, and take it home. Of course one can still do that in a great deal of the state, you just have to know where to dig.
Know a place near McCoy, CO that is seldom visited.

Wow...that must have been like everything in the house....
ReplyDeleteShe went from an independent antique dealer to a hoarder. My sister took the important furniture. We sold off a ton of stuff. So much was just dross.
