Ed:

Great posts, and great stories! Thanks for sharing! That Phytosaur fossil find was inspiring- to come back to the same location, and find the other half... It is true skill. Bravo!

Thank you for posting the pics, and the effort to find them and share them.

Here is a good example of why old labels are important. Without them the history would have been lost.

Former collection of Art Smith. This was one of six he had in his collection and he shows that they where collected in September 1977. These where trimmed out of a drill core. I have not only the smaller label that most likely was with the Sulfur but the 3x5 card that he kept all the data on. Even though I have changed over to the computer for tracking my collection I still have not only my old 3x5 cards from my early days of collecting, but also my parents cards.
