Hi Jasper, I just discovered your old Fossil hunting book. LOVING it! Thanks so much for putting that together. Do you still fossil hunt?
Hi Kristen. Thanks for your kind remarks about my book. After many years of not doing much collecting, I got back into the field this spring and even found a couple of new localities. I’m hoping to fill in some gaps in my collecting now that I’m retired. My best to you! Jasper
