Merry Christmas 2015

If you are viewing this blog I wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope 2016 brings you many good fossil finds.

This year's design features four fossils. They were all found in Grayson County Kentucky USA. Three different crinoid fossils were used for the tree trunk, ornaments and star. The tree body was a horn coral. I do not know their names but they are from the Mississippian Period (Carboniferous).
