So Sunday, finally made it to the Krukowski Quarry, 20 miles from the old homestead. Went with sister Judith and brother-in-law Chuck. Who says field trips are for school kids?

Any of you fossil hunters already know of this site. The oldest evidence of terrestrial life on earth – the first footprints. Also, 500,000,000 year old jellyfish prints are all over the site. The largest jellyfish fossils anywhere. Awesome climactinites. We found a large field overrun with these 5-inch-wide tracks. In this era, it’s amazing that we still don’t know what creature left these tracks.

Great teamwork to ID the opportunity, locate the business, track down the quarry and find the fossils. Stellar field ops and a higher tolerance for risk than I’m used to from a bunch of modern-day fossils (yours trulies)!

Bonus: We also saw the largest circular saw ever, maybe 10’ across. Cutting off sheets of granite countertop. And some great sheets of marble in their yards.
