I don't think cash will help you much during the Apocalypse

 

Apocalypse?!!



Dude, after 6 months of snow and minus forty degree temperatures, we're all dying to pig-out on the good ol' fish-flies!!

 

I think it may be way cheaper to buy the walleye fillets at our local "Farmboy" fish section. The butterflies are more valuable as trade material for nice Roman golden oldies! I think you made me hungry, I will probably go out and get some fresh rainbow trout. I like the small ones/ around 350 g. dressed/ fried in butter...

It's real! The matrix, or the thing the bug is incased in looks funny to me. Try posting this on The Fossil Forum, which is a very helpful group just like CT. But beware....once you start collecting fossils it becomes the same as ancients; an obsession.

 

If we go to the beach, I MUST go to Venice Beach, Florida, where you can stroll along the shoreline picking up little megalodon teeth (and sandsharks and various and other sundry shark species) from dawn till dusk. Quite frankly I don't "get it" now when I am on any other beach. This is not my picture, but typically this is about what it looks like. Do you see the dark tooth among the shells? With patience, you can fill your pockets by day's end.

The locals say that 50 years ago, you could still find the big ones washing up along the shore, and apparently it still happens every now and again even today.
